A Big Bold Beautiful Journey Is Now on Digital
If you’re anything like me and have been patiently waiting for Kogonada’s latest film to hit digital, the day has finally come. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, starring the ever-effervescent Margot Robbie and the always-compelling Colin Farrell, is now officially available on VOD — and trust me, it’s worth carving out a quiet evening to get lost in this one.
From the moment this project was announced, it had all the right ingredients: a poetic title, two magnetic leads, and Kogonada — the visual storyteller behind Columbus and After Yang, both known for their meditative pacing and quietly emotional depth. But with A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, he leans even more into romanticism, both in its themes and in its absolutely stunning visuals.
No spoilers here, but the film is, in essence, exactly what its title suggests: big in emotion, bold in concept, and unapologetically beautiful — visually and emotionally. It feels like a modern fable, but grounded in the real ache of longing and connection. Robbie and Farrell have a kind of chemistry that’s not loud or flashy — it simmers, it pulses quietly, it makes you lean in. There’s something profoundly human about how their characters collide and unravel.
And then there’s the cinematography. Kogonada doesn’t just shoot scenes — he composes them. There are frames in this movie that feel like they belong in a gallery. Light, color, stillness — all used with the kind of care that makes you want to pause just to take it all in.
It’s not a fast film. It doesn’t rush to please. But that’s what makes it special. It asks you to slow down. To feel things. To sit with the uncomfortable, the beautiful, the uncertain. And in a world where so much of our media is about speed and noise, this feels like a much-needed breath.
So yes, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is finally here. You can now rent or buy it on major digital platforms (Apple TV, Amazon, Vudu — take your pick), and I highly recommend doing so with the lights low, your phone on silent, and your full heart ready.
Don’t go into it expecting a typical love story. Go into it expecting a poem.
