Or maybe do, because the car rental agency she mans in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has magical machinations designed to send terminally single people on a voyage through time and space in order to work out their issues and let their guard down enough to connect with a soulmate. From afar, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, with movie stars in full swoon, might give skeptics pause — it looks far too sappy and sac- charine. But there are indeed some trustworthy elements that make this high-concept romance worth a second view. Director Kogonada has delivered subtle and affecting films in Colum- bus and After Yang, and stars Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie could sell just about any love story. The script is by Seth Reiss, of The Menu, and the film is of the romantic magical realism genre, like About Time, Palm Springs, The Lake House, or any number of time travel romances, in which someone unsatisfied with life is forced to con- front their issues to fix their future, through an inexplicable reality-warp- ing narrative device. Which brings us back to Waller- Bridge and the car rental agency she runs in a giant empty warehouse with the help of Kevin Kline. Her char- acter has a German accent, a potty mouth and only two cars available — old Saturns — and she insists that David (Farrell) get the GPS when he rents one to drive to a wedding. At said wedding, he encounters the beguiling, elusive Sarah (Margot Robbie), a manic pixie dream girl if there ever was one, and on the way home, the animated voice of his GPS asks him if he’d like to take “a big, bold, beautiful journey.” He accepts and it leads him right to a Burger King where he and Sarah re-meet over a couple of “fast food cheeseburgers” (in a bit of obvious product placement). The pair decide to embark on the magical GPS-directed journey, mak- ing side-of-the-road pit stops where various doors await them. Through each, they step into one of their mem- ories: a favourite museum, a solo trip to a lighthouse, a high school musical, a bad breakup in a cafe. Each memory allows them to see these profound experiences and ro- mantic traumas in a new light; their journey through these memories is intended to help them work out their issues (he’s a picky lover boy, she’s unfaithful) so they can let their guard down and fall in love with each other. The existence of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is laudable simply because we don’t get these kinds of original, deeply sincere, slightly corny and unapologetically romantic movies on the big screen all that of- ten. Kogonada has taken Reiss’ script and artfully elevated it with bright pops of primary colour interwoven into the storytelling, and theatrically staged moments, like when David and Sarah step into a painting on a darkened set. This layer of artifice and reference to classical musicals blends fantasy and cosmic existen- tialism with the more grounded ele- ments of the screenplay’s emotional trajectory. When Kogonada infuses A Big Bold Beautiful Journey with these weirder, more experimental moments (especially the car rental agency), it’s interesting, and intriguing, but the script itself is frustratingly vague. David and Sarah live in an un- named city on “the Northside” and “downtown” respectively. We don’t know what they do for work, how they take their coffee, who their friends are or what fills their day. The anonymity is intentional but works against our ability to connect with the story, which is presented with a sense of arch-remove in its studious esthetic. But there’s no life in this, no relatable flaws or mo- ments of humour. Our protagonists are vague avatars placed within a skeletal story framework that traffics more in semantics, symbolism and signifiers than it does specifics. Mostly, this film is just two very attractive people parroting truisms about how hard dating can be to each other, set against a visually appealing backdrop. We have no sense of who these characters are, why they fall in love with each other (aside from the obvious physical attraction) or what they want. At one point, David de- clares to Sarah that he truly sees her, which is entirely implausible because we can’t see either of them clearly. In their travels throughout their traumas, Reiss doesn’t effectively connect their pasts to their present woes, and not enough time is taken to set up their dissatisfaction with their lives before their beautiful journey commences. Ergo, what should be a tearjerker about learning to be open to life’s sur- prises doesn’t have much more im- pact than an inspirational Instagram quote. There are some affecting in- ner child healing moments here, but without details and specifics, this is a big, bold swing, but a beautiful miss. — Tribune News Service KATIE WALSH MATT KENNEDY/SONY PICTURES Margot Robbie (left) and Colin Farrell bring star power, but the script denies audiences the chance to really invest in their stories. ARTS ● LIFE I ENTERTAINMENT Artists turn backs on D4vd after dead teen found in his car NEW YORK — Singer Kali Uchis is hoping to disassociate herself from R&B artist D4vd following the discov- ery of a 15-year-old dead girl’s body in a Tesla registered to him. The Grammy Award winner an- nounced Thursday she is removing their recent collaboration, Crashing, from platforms after a social media user called attention to the unfolding situation regarding the suspicious death and D4vd’s possible association. The singer, whose full name is David Anthony Burke has not been charged with a crime and is said to be co-oper- ating with the investigation “Not my friend, I did a song with him which is currently in the process of being taken down given today’s dis- turbing news,” she wrote in response to a fan’s Instagram comment. She responded to another IG user, who came to her defence, that this is the reason “why women always get blamed for the things men do.” Earlier in the month, the decompos- ing body of a teenager was found in an impounded Tesla registered to the Queens-born artist, days after it was impounded at a tow yard in Los Ange- les, according to reports. On Wednesday, the girl was identi- fied as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, who had been missing for more than a year. She was reported missing after leav- ing her family’s home in Lake Elsinore, Calif., on April 5, 2024. A since-deleted missing persons flyer posted on Face- book around the time said she was only 13 years old when she was last seen. Rivas’ mother told TMZ that her daughter had a boyfriend named David. Both D4vd, 20, and the deceased girl had identical tattoos of the word “Shhh…” on their right index fingers. One of his reported leaked songs, titled Celeste, pays tribute to a love interest with the same name as Rivas. Uchis, 31, collaborated with the Ro- mantic Homicide crooner on Crashing from his debut album, Withered, which was released in April. Both music acts appeared in a music video for the pop ballad. The Drunken Babble artist isn’t the only artist keeping a distance from D4vd. Amid the investigation, other music acts including Daniel Caesar, Ice Spice and Tyler, the Creator report- edly unfollowed him on social media. — The New York Daily News KARU F.
