G321 Thelma And Louise

Director: Ridley Scott
Date Released: 12th July 1991
Awards: Won Oscar. Another 12 wins & 21 nominations
Review:
By Rodger Edbert
”Before their journey is done, these characters with have undergone a rite of passage, and will have discovered themselves. What sets "Thelma & Louise" aside from the great central tradition of the road picture -- a tradition roomy enough to accommodate "Easy Rider," "Bonnie and Clyde," "Badlands," "Midnight Run" and "Rain Man" -- is that the heroes are women this time”

Audience Review:


“This movie works because it is funny and sad by turns and expresses the yearning we all have to be free of the restraints of society and its institutions (symbolized in the wide-open spaces of the American Southwest) while representing the on again, off again incompatibility of the male and female heart. The male-bashing is done with a touch of humor and the targets are richly deserving of what they get. The ending is perhaps too theatrical and frankly unrealistic, but opinions may differ.”
