‘A Journey’ (2024) Netflix Movie Review - A Heartfelt Story of Life, Friendship and Love

A heartfelt story of a trip that will make you laugh, cry, and comfort you at the same time. A movie that is surely very beautiful and heartwarming. It is indeed true that we have seen many comforting movies that have a story of friendship, especially a trio. A Journey is a movie that has a common concept, but it has been written so beautifully that you will end up having teary eyes.

The movie is about a woman who is suffering from cancer for the second time. Well, cancer is a very deadly disease, and there are a lot of movies that follow the same concept, but A Journey will not disappoint you. Shane is married, and she learns that she is again suffering from cancer. Despite going through chemotherapy, she decides to enjoy her moments to the fullest and tick all the boxes on her wish list. Shane tells her husband that she wants to check all the boxes on her wishlist and have an adventurous journey full of laughter and fun. Now, Shane and her husband, along with the best friend of her husband, set out on an adventurous trip to make Shane feel the happiest.

Though we have seen movies with predictable storylines like this, A Journey will still end up making a permanent place in your heart. I was not ready to watch this, as it's a very heavy movie for an emotional person like me. But I know it was worth watching, even though I ended up crying so hard. At first, the movie starts with a party vibe, but slowly it gets very exciting, and then the plot takes a turn towards sad situations. You will feel so overwhelmed watching this movie; it will not only make you feel like crying, but you will also love the bond between these three. Their friendship will make you feel so good that you will leave for a friendship like that. It feels so hurtful when you know that you are having a good time with your friend, and you know soon that person will be gone.

The movie is a treat to our eyes, and for me, it was indeed a treat to my eyes. I couldn't stop watching some scenes over and over again, just to cry more. You shouldn't miss out on this; just prepare yourself with tissues because it will make you cry a lot. I ended up crying really badly, but the storyline kept me so invested in the movie that I still can't move on from it. This movie is out on Netflix; if you are wondering what to watch next, then this should be on your list.

Final Score- [9/10]
