Thelma & Louise (1991)
Thelma & Louise (1991)
1991 | Comedy
Director Ridley Scott's classic 1991 road trip movie starring Geena David and Susan Sarandon (with Brad Pitt and Harvey Keitel also having a part), in which the two friends Thelma (Davis) and Louise (Sarandon) go on a road trip that takes a turn for the worse when Louise shoots and kills a man attempting to rape Thelma.

Finding themselves on the run, they try to make their way to Mexico, culminating in perhaps one of the most famous final shots in movie history.

3.75 stars (just to be awkward).

I liked the road-trip aspect and their diversion from Amy's mums plan for them. I liked their gentle roll into something more than friendship. I liked a lot of the people they met on their detour.

What I wasn't so keen on was the ending. I like a definite HEA and I'm sure they'll meet up again but it wasn't a certain thing and that's a big "Hmm..." point for me which is why I've marked it down a quarter star because other than that I enjoyed their story.

I may even have to make a "road-trip" shelf and search out more books.

I was so involved in the road-trip and the little pictures shown throughout the story that I actually stalked their journey using google maps.

Two women with two very different lives, Thea and Denise had both had enough of their daily grind. Thea is divorced, her daughter wants to live with her father and his new family, and Denise is treated like a servant by her husband and sons. I’d be in that car and on that road trip pretty fast if my family treated me like Denise’s, I can tell you.

I really enjoyed Thea and Denise’s road trip, their adventures and growing friendship. I particularly liked Denise’s mum!

I read this on The Pigeonhole.
