While it sucks that we may never see the Coen Brothers reunited, it’s also kind of cool to see how the brothers are using their signature Coen style in different ways. Joel Coen had the prestige picture Macbeth, while Ethan makes his solo feature debut with the queer road comedy Drive-Away Dolls.
It’s hard to top the duo of Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan, best friends who hit the road to Florida in hopes of a fresh start. It doesn’t go quite as planned. Let the hijinks begin.
SYNOPSIS: Written by Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke, this comedy caper follows Jamie, an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian who desperately needs to loosen up. In search of a fresh start, the two embark on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals along the way. Directed by Ethan Coen.
Also in the cast are Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, Bill Camp, and Matt Damon. Again, this cast is impeccable, keeping with the A-list ensembles the Coens have always been able to assemble.
Drive-Away Dolls hits theaters on September 22nd.
