A QUEER WOMEN’S road-trip movie rife with severed heads, bumbling bad guys, dyke bars, all-women make-out parties, raucous lesbian sex, and a psychedelic Miley Cyrus cameo has been long overdue. Now Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s high-octane Drive-Away Dolls delivers on all of that and more with the wildest ride ever to be had in a ’90s-era Dodge Aries with “Love is a sleigh ride to hell” emblazoned on the trunk.
It’s also a period piece that’s a love letter to lesbian culture at the turn of the new millennium. Stars Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan sport high-waisted and maybe even gently radical.
