It all comes together beautifully, a film to stimulate curious corners of the mind and adventurous parts of the spirit.

The film returns us to a childlike gaze, marveling at a world alive with possibility, where every sight lives on a continuum of meaning.

If Tabu locates the colonial mindset in madness and obsession, Grand Tour does so in cowardice and obliviousness.

Gomes is a director poised between ironic narrative and experimentalism pure and simple, and his films (often described as strange, lyrical and hypnotizing) divide audiences into the visionaries and the unconvinced.

It is a wholly uncompromising experience that dances with mirth and melancholy. Proving to be evocative in one moment and unrelentingly exhausting in the next, it’s as gorgeous to behold visually as it is hard to completely embrace thematically. And yet, if you abandon yourself to it by the end as one character says, you can catch glimpses of something spectacularly sublime in the vast journey that it takes on.

Fans of Gomes’ breakthrough 2012 feature, Tabu, will find much to love here as well, and in terms of craft his latest offers some truly beguiling moments. But anyone looking for a good story, or characters to get hooked on, may find themselves admiring the scenery without ever relishing it.

In 'Grand Tour,' present and past merge in an avant-garde experiment that immerses us in the Asian continent through the mesmerizing journey of a civil servant of the British Empire who dumps his fiancée on their wedding day and runs away, forcing her to follow in his footsteps. Auteur Miguel Gomes presents us with a unique cinematic challenge whose reward might not satisfy everyone. This is an unconventional exploration of colonialism that, despite brilliant audiovisual ideas and remarkable technical display, is repeatedly overwhelmed by its narrative resources, whether it's the excessive use of voice-over or the exotic view of a foreign land.

O que me incomodou aqui nem foi o romance insípido, mas a não sincronia entre imagem e a irritante narração, que precisará justificar o roteiro. É como pegar um documentário de viagem e ir narrando uma história quase em terceira pessoa, dificualtando a **** piorar, o filme começa com a visão do homem, mistura-se a da mulher, e depois se encaminha para o ponto de vista dela, com um final que sequer nos importamos. Algumas cenas voltadas para curiosidades antropológicas podem compensar esse esforço.
