Flying solo, Joel Coen went the prestige route and made Macbeth. Brother Ethan, working with his wife Tricia Cooke, plotted a different direction. Drive-Away Dolls just wants to show you a good time at the movies, as lesbian lovers Jamie and Marian (Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathen) take off on a roadtrip to Tallahassee, only to find a suitcase full of trouble in the back of their rental car… As Indiewire’s Alison Foreman put it, “It’s wildly endearing, decidedly shaggy, and gay as fuck.”
Coen and Cooke have fashioned a zippy piece of trash cinema so unencumbered with ambition or pretension that it’s the perfect pick-me-up…
Tom Shone, Sunday Times
A hypodermic needle shot of absurdity… a Nineties-set, enthusiastically horny but also quite tender queering of the crime capers that made the Coens’ name.
