IMDb plot summary: Jamie regrets her breakup with her girlfriend, while Marian needs to relax. In search of a fresh start, they embark on an unexpected road trip to Tallahassee. Things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals.
Directed by Ethan Coen. Stars Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Beanie Feldstein.
Drive-Away Dolls tells the story of two women who sign up to deliver a car across the country, only to find out that they are carrying forbidden cargo, and someone is after them to get it back. This is a weird delightful film that is a solo film by Ethan Coen, and if all Coen Brothers movies were like this, I’d be a much bigger fan of their work. Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan are both so charismatic – Margaret Qualley is quickly becoming one of my favorite new actresses. There’s a playful zaniness to this that comes out both in the silliness of the actual forbidden cargo and in the strong contrast between Viswanathan’s anxious, private nature and Qualley’s absolutely unrestrained hedonism. It is a wild, over-the-top ride that I had a great time with.
