Our take
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is an M-rated fantasy romance about strangers Sarah and David who relive pivotal moments from their pasts. Frequent f-words, a parent death and funeral scene, an affair-with-professor reveal, wine at a wedding and surreal time-jump peril all feature. Emotional grief and regret sit alongside the whimsical adventure. Older teens and adults will handle the M rating and themes best.
