An imaginative tale of two strangers and the unbelievable journey that connects them.

Seeing this right after HIM was strange, two movies that have nothing in common other than operating so metaphorically and not being grounded in anything. HIM left my cold but this left me colder.

Colin Farrel’s David has a meet-cute with Margot Robbie’s Sarah at a mutual friends’ wedding. That’s the last time the movie embraces anything resembling reality. David and Sarah come across a series of doors throughout a journey programmed by a magical GPS (no, really). These doors drop them in different places in their own pasts, which they use to get to know each other better.

And that’s it, really. David and Sarah don’t feel like fully realized characters that existed before the movie starts. They feel like they just came out of the box with their factory-set rom com settings and go from there. Robbie and Farrell are decent actors and do their best making a 15-year age gap still feel like they are peers, but neither character is particularly interesting. Their trauma, which they unpack throughout the film, all feels very stunted, like they experienced something as a teen and haven’t thought about anything since.

The musical number was fun, I guess.
