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 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.
