DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS | ©2024 Focus Features

Rating: R Stars: Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp, Joey Slotnick, C.J. Wilson, Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal Writers: Ethan Coen & Tricia Cooke Director: Ethan Coen Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: February 23, 2024 DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS has the unmistakable cadence of a Coen Brothers movie, even though on this one, Ethan Coen is directing solo and co-wrote the script with Tricia Cooke, rather than sibling Joel, his usual collaborator. The film succeeds in being at once super-raunchy, somewhat sweet, occasionally very violent, and often so light that it threatens to float away. We begin in late […]Read On »
