Minnesota nice meets Minnesota vice in this snowbound thriller that sees Emma Thompson deploy her best Marge Gunderson impression. Thompson plays Barb, a recently widowed woman who sets out on a mission to scatter her late husband's ashes at his favourite fishing spot, a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere (conveniently for plot purposes, one of the last corners of America with no cellphone reception).

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.

Frank Hanavan's Hoboken is wet. In his streetscapes, surfaces glisten. The sky is rarely glowering, but it does seem full; ready to have something to say, or wrapping up something that it is busy saying. The canopy of foliage that hangs over the streetcorners feels saturated with moisture. Even the shadows on the sidewalk are puddle blue. Businesses have their umbrellas open. A few people do, too.
