"Drive-Away Dolls: A Wild New Direction for Ethan Coen's Lesbian Crime Caper"

TL;DR Summary
Drive-Away Dolls, directed by Ethan Coen and co-written with Tricia Cooke, features Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Beanie Feldstein in a lesbian crime caper. The film, reminiscent of Coen's stage productions, is described as lightweight and overly pleased with itself, with strained humor and forced transgressive spirit. The plot revolves around two women unwittingly in possession of a briefcase with sensitive contents that could end a prominent Republican political career. While the film's outrageousness feels fabricated, Beanie Feldstein's performance stands out as the funniest element in an otherwise strained and spotty comedy.
