Miguel Gomes elegantly bridges 100 years of film history with an experimental, time-bending colonial-era story of a British civil servant trying to outrun his persistent fiancée. Go to Full Review

It is a film of many enchantments. Go to Full Review
Kat Sachs Chicago Reader Apr 14, 2025
Gomes doesn’t undercut the romance... instead, he leans into its petulance, allowing the formal ambiguity of the nonnarrative sections to suggest the possibility of another interpretation entirely. Go to Full Review
Ken Chen The New York Review of Books Oct 4, 2026
Gomes’s films set up a perplexing economy of pleasure. All artworks enlist their audiences to help create their meaning, but in Gomes’s case you may feel that you are laboring to produce the enjoyment of his movies, rather than the other way around. Go to Full Review

There is never any point at which the film is unaware of the distance that exists between it and everything it is depicting. Go to Full Review

3/5
Grand Tour is undoubtedly masterfully directed and shot, but everything else seems to be lacking in a film from which I expected a lot more. In the end, the film falls into the classic trap of style over substance Go to Full Review
