"Drive-Away Dolls: A Campy, Bawdy Joyride with the Coen Brothers"

"Drive-Away Dolls," directed by Ethan Coen, is a campy and comedic romp that stands out as the horniest and goofiest film in the Coen Brothers' repertoire. The movie follows two lesbian protagonists on a wild road trip from Philadelphia to Tallahassee in 1999, featuring zany action, campy dialogue, and a liberal cultural analysis buried beneath the layers of humor. With broad gags and theater-kid fun, the film offers a breezy 84-minute comedy that's both entertaining and open to deeper interpretation.

"Wild Ride: The Bawdy Joy of 'Drive-Away Dolls' Review"

"Drive-Away Dolls," directed by Ethan Coen without his brother Joel, follows two friends on a road trip from Philadelphia to Florida as they come into possession of a briefcase wanted by dangerous men. The film, written by Coen and his wife, Tricia Cooke, features highbrow references and petty crimes but ultimately falls short with sluggish pacing, overblown performances, and an inert storyline, despite attempts at mixing genres and layered references.

"Exploring the Impact of 'Drive-Away Dolls' on Queer Cinema and the Coen Brothers' Legacy"

"Drive-Away Dolls," Ethan Coen's solo fiction directorial debut, is a fast-paced, bawdy road comedy that falls short of expectations, featuring B-movie riffs, lesbian raunch, and retreads of Coen classics. Starring Margaret Qualley and Beanie Feldstein, the film follows a sexually voracious free spirit and her uptight roommate as they get entangled in a crime organization's pursuit. Despite committed performances, the movie's gratuitous and forced humor, overcompensation, and frenetic pacing make it a forgettable and disposable cinematic experience.

"Exploring Ethan Coen's Wild New Direction with Drive-Away Dolls"

Drive-Away Dolls, a film by Ethan Coen and co-written by Tricia Cooke, combines tongue-in-cheek lesbian humor with a signature Coen bumbling-criminals plot, featuring Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan as mismatched pals on a distraction-prone, comically violent road trip to Florida. The film's bawdy, quippy, and slick nature sometimes leads to it slipping and face-planting, but overall, it's a raunchy, dizzy road-trip comedy that's a little too slick for its own good.

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

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.

"Drive-Away Dolls: A Wild and Bawdy Lesbian-Driven B-Movie Crime Comedy"

Director Ethan Coen, in collaboration with Tricia Cooke, delivers a raunchy and violent lesbian-centered crime caper comedy in "Drive-Away Dolls," paying homage to hard R drive-in B movies. The film follows a free-spirited lesbian, Jamie, and her uptight friend, Marian, on a road trip with a dodgy car and a valuable briefcase in the trunk, leading to a chase involving bad dudes, a senator, and a manhood-related secret. Despite being a disposable and forgettable effort, the film retains the quirkiness of the Coen brand and is influenced in style by Tricia Cooke, making it worth a watch for fans of the Coen Brothers' work.

"Margaret Qualley Shines in Ethan Coen's Queer Crime Joyride: A Drive-Away Dolls Review"

"Drive-Away Dolls," directed by Ethan Coen, is a crime-speckled road-trip joyride about two innocent young women on a drive-away car trip to Tallahassee, unaware of the special goods in the trunk. The film is a lighthearted caper reminiscent of Coen brothers' style, featuring a queer libertine dynamo character, Jamie, portrayed by Margaret Qualley. While the movie showcases indie escapist moviemaking, it lacks an abundance of style and takes a turn into didactic silliness towards the end.
