This Monday, a coworker friend and I saw Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls, starring Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan. Qualley and Viswanathan
played lesbian friends who took a road trip to Tallahassee, Florida for a New Year’s Eve hookup, and accidentally got mixed in with some
gangsters and went toe-to-toe with them and eventually, a crooked politician played by Matt Damon. It was a decent movie. While I’m no complete fan of vulgar or graphic language, there were a few laughs with the buddy moments between Qualley and Viswanathan. And though I said Drive-Away Dolls was "weird", I felt the film was good-hearted in showing that the
lead girls, despite their clashing personalities, with Qualley’s free-spirited
outlook and Viswanathan’s bookish and uptight mannerisms, just wanted somebody to
love and connect with. It was funny with some Western music and psychedelic and
lava lamp colors mixing in throughout the film, as well. Though I got some vibes of Rush Hour and Beverly Hills Cop, I felt the film could use some more action. Even so, you've truly lived when you take down tough guy Matt Damon and find love all at the same time. All in all, Drive-Away Dolls was worth a 7/10. |
