Thelma & Louise

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. (02/24/2016)

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 :-) (12/29/2011)

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.

Grand Canyon, Thelma, Louise, police and the brilliant musical accompaniment performed by Hans Zimmer's melancholic guitar. A scene that has engraved itself in my memory forever and has a very strong impact that could elevate the final rating, but I can't surpass three stars. Geena Davis is absolutely stunning and it doesn't change anything that Thelma is indecisive, trusting, and generally simpler. On the contrary, Susan Sarandon was probably born for the role of Louise, endowed with her characteristic determination and persuasiveness. But what is the characteristic that makes the film considered the most impactful feminist work, the embodiment of women's self-sufficiency? After all, both heroines spend more than half of the runtime just arguing or insulting men. I also don't understand why the Academy awarded the film an Oscar for the screenplay, when occasional clichés (irredeemable naivety, a good cop against a gang of bad cops) peek through and it often feels quite ordinary. The turning point in the film is the atmosphere - the constant intense closeness of the desert, the power of the scene with two love acts happening simultaneously, or the excellent dialogue between Keitel and Pitt.

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%. (02/16/2010)
