‘Drive-Away Dolls’ Review: Ethan Coen Teams Up With Game Cast For Wacky Lesbian-Driven B-Movie Crime Comedy


A review of 'Drive-Away Dolls' from director Ethan Coen teaming with his wife Tricia Cooke for a Lesbian-driven crime caper that goes for broke

Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan in 'Drive-Away Dolls'Working Title / Focus Features Director Ethan Coen going solo, and collaborating on the script this time without brother Joel, but his wife Tricia Cooke instead, delivers a disposable but not entirely unentertaining lesbian-centered crime caper comedy, Drive-Away Dolls that with its raunchy sex and vivid violence is more an affectionate tribute to hard R drive-in B movies that might have come from the mind of Russ Meyer than anything resembling the smart Oscar-y movies the Coen Brothers were noted for like No CountryFor Old Men or instant classics like Big Lebowski, Barton Fink, Fargo, Blood Simple etc. The chase is on as this case is much desired by family values Senator Gary Channel ( Matt Damon who turns up in the last act), and their smart Chief ( Colman Domingo) is calling the shots to get it for him. Cast: Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp, Matt Damon, Joey Slotnick, C.J.Wilson, Pedro Pascal
