Two women, a turquoise Thunderbird, the ride of a lifetime. With this pop-culture landmark, screenwriter Callie Khouri and action auteur Ridley Scott rewrote the rules of the road movie, telling the story of two best friends who find themselves transformed into accidental fugitives during a weekend getaway gone wrong—leading them on a high-speed Southwest odyssey as they elude police and discover freedom on their own terms. Propelled by irresistible performances from Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis (plus Brad Pitt in a sexy, star-making turn)—and nominated for six Academy Awards, winning one for Khouri—the exhilaratingly cathartic Thelma & Louise stands as cinema’s ultimate ode to ride-or-die female friendship.

English One of the most beautiful road movies and one of the most beautiful film endings ever. I wasn’t expecting to be particularly thrilled with a two hour “feminist” ride with Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, but I was wrong. Beauty, beauty, beauty; I had it clear from the first scene that I will surprisingly like it. Thanks Fixa for bringing this film to my attention :-) ()

English Ridley Scott's gorgeous road movie with the excellent Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. Beautiful shots of the arid landscapes around Texas, a powerful but beautifully told story, flawless music by Hans Zimmer + incredible acting by both protagonists provide an extraordinary experience that grabs you and doesn't let go right from the beginning, wringing a huge amount of emotion out of the viewer.

English Beauty! Hands down the best road movie I've seen to date, and Scott's second-best work behind the unattainable Alien (sorry, Gladiator). The heroines make an amazing central duo and just watching their amazing performances is a treat that doesn't come along every day. This script, full of life's bitterness, but at the same time of the great determination and enthusiasm of two hardened and energetic ladies, should be guarded as a shiny jewel of world cinema. For us film fans, watching and living this story is the same as a dirty gold digger discovering a two-kilogram glowing nugget in an endless mine shaft – at first you just sit dumbly and process everything, but gradually you become completely immersed in the experience that has just happened. Scott found that nugget and exploited it to the fullest. ()

English A decent road movie about two women, whom a combination of coincidences and untamed hormones led onto the path of desperados. Susan Sarandon is one of my favorite actresses and she does an excellent job, but she is also skillfully supported by Geena Davis, who I otherwise don't really like. The film relies on the beautiful scenery of the American wilderness and is accompanied by pleasant music. Ridley Scott restrained himself this time when it comes to editing and effects, and perhaps only the encounter with the police, which ends with the demolition of half of the local police's fleet, is typically exaggerated and was simply shot for effect. Overall impression: 70%. ()

English Interesting road movie, which is actually a pleasant journey to damnation in the company of characters you can either like or peacefully loathe, which is not so complicated in the case of the character played by Geena Davis. This film, however, is headed somewhere, with great stops along the way, until it finally reaches an ending that sits well with me. ()
