Minnesota nice meets Minnesota vice in this snowbound thriller that sees Emma Thompson deploy her best Marge Gunderson impression.

New Release Review - "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-09-28

Video essayist turned filmmaker Kogonada previously took us on beautiful journeys with his first two films, Columbus and After Yang. Those films were intimate and understated, but his latest, which bills itself as big and bold, is simply overbearing and vulgar. Adapting someone else's script (Seth Reiss) for the first time, Kogonada's third film might be a case of "one for them," of a filmmaker taking a job to keep active. Thematically it fits into Kogonada's wheelhouse, but A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has none of the emotional resonance of the director's previous work, despite all its "cry now" pummelling of the audience with shallow sentimentality.
