Fantastic road movie. A very human story with great performances and gorgeous cinematography.

Unfortunately, I knew the ending to this film but actually it didn't spoil my enjoyment at all. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon are spell-binding. Seeing their development as characters was really meaningful. This film has a lot to comment on regarding female empowerment, freedom, friendship, sex and relationships and I strongly, strongly recommend people watch this. Breathtaking views and great accents also. Oh and Brad Pitt.

There’s a special chemistry between these two wisecracking ladies that makes for a road trip like no other.

Reading the comments section it seems I didn't understand the movie at all. The premise of the movie was good and started off well. I feel the entire series of unfortunate events that unfolded were causes completely by poor decision making the 2 ladies.

This is attempting to be a pretty detailed critique of the patriarchy. For a while it stays surprisingly nuanced for a big Hollywood movie, pointing at stuff like the juridical system, marriage, manipulation and sex to keep women in their place. However, the movie unfortunately gets dumber and more More

***Entertaining but tragic road flick with Sarandon and Davis***

Two women from Arkansas (Susan Sarandon & Geena Davis) become fugitives and travel through the Southwest pursued by authorities (Harvey Keitel & Stephen Tobolowsky). Brad Pitt plays a cowboy drifter while Michael Madsen and Christop More

Thirty-odd years later, and this is still a classic piece of cinema. It all centres around best pals "Thelma" (Geena Davis) and "Louise" (Susan Sarandon) who are a bit bored with their respective fellas and set off on a drive. Stopping off at a roadside bar, things get out of hand when the latter wo More
