Colin Farrell & Margot Robbie play strangers who meet at a wedding and end up on the titular journey. They spend lots of time driving to various locations where they discover doors in the wild. When they step thru the doors, they venture to a previous time in their lives to re-live important moments. Sure, bits of the trip are bold and sometimes beautiful, but the whole thing falls apart once they enter the doors. The narrative starts to head off the rails and careens into emotional encounters that turn this into an introspective wasteland. Director Kogonada and writer Seth Reiss peppered the film with some cinematic surprises and occasional humorous moments, but these are overshadowed by the dull “meaningful” drama that develops. BTW, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Kevin Kline are somewhat unrecognizable in their interesting supporting roles at the car rental agency.
