One such film that has been making waves is the lesbian road trip crime comedy, **Drive-Away Dolls**. With the reviews in, it’s clear that this film is a must-watch for those looking for a wild and unabashedly queer romp.
The story follows Jamie, played by Margaret Qualley, a free-spirited and extremely horny lesbian who joins her friend Marian, played by Geraldine Viswanathan, on an impromptu road trip from Philadelphia to Tallahassee. Fresh from a breakup with her cop girlfriend Sukie, Jamie tags along with Marian on a trip to do some birding with her aunt. Little do they know, they will soon find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of dodgy dealings involving a mysterious briefcase and a group of inept criminals.
The star-studded cast includes Colman Domingo as the leader of the criminal gang, Pedro Pascal, and Matt Damon in supporting roles, as well as a psychedelic appearance by the one and only Miley Cyrus. Directed by Ethan Coen and written by Tricia Cooke, **Drive-Away Dolls** has been described as a bawdy sapphic joyride that is the goofiest and loosest entry in the Coen cannon.
With dick jokes aplenty and Jamie’s insatiable thirst for sapphic sex, the film promises to be a raunchy and explicitly queer barrel of laughs. Critics have praised the film for wearing its sapphic colors loud and proud, with scenes that are sure to delight queer women of all ages.
The chemistry between the two leads, Qualley and Viswanathan, has been highlighted as one of the film’s strongest points. Qualley’s portrayal of Jamie has been likened to Kristen Stewart crossed with Katharine Hepburn, exuding a saucy new in-it-to-win-it hellfire. The connection between the two lead stars has been lauded as extremely charming, keeping viewers invested in the story.
Despite some meandering plotlines at the start, critics agree that the core actresses’ chemistry is what keeps the audience engaged throughout the film. **Drive-Away Dolls** has been described as an absolute delight to watch, with a brilliant blend of comedy, crime, and sapphic romance.
In conclusion, **Drive-Away Dolls** is a film that just wants to have a good time. It’s a wild ride filled with laughter, adventure, and plenty of queer representation. Whether you’re a fan of the Coen brothers’ work or just looking for a fun and entertaining movie experience, **Drive-Away Dolls** is sure to deliver.
