“Miguel Gomes’ Asia-Set fever dream Is beguiling and elusive… the best you can do is plunge into it without asking too many questions”
-The Hollywood Reporter-
“Unique, elegant, eccentric… Portuguese auteur Miguel Gomes delivers a film in which the most complex sophistication coexists with innocence and charm.”
-Guardian-
“Grand Tour is a mind-blowing travelogue drama that encapsulates. …loyal to its core from start to finish and striking a good balance between being “stylish” and staying intelligible. It’s a rare feat, these days.”
-Cineuropa-
“ A hidden gem… one of the year’s most captivating cinematic masterpieces… poignantly paints the vastness of the world and the bittersweet reality of love and loss.”
-The Harvard Crimson-
