Thelma & Louise

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%. (16/02/2010)

I always saw Thelma & Louise as just a romantic road trip of two women, but recently I discovered that a significant aspect of the film is its crime plot. The attributes that almost always ensure a quality film are luxuriously fulfilled here. Ridley Scott delivered impeccable direction once again, Hans Zimmer provided a fantastic soundtrack full of hits, and Adrian Biddle, a name previously unknown to me, delivered with a precise camera and almost poetic aerial shots. But, of course, the film stands on its central acting duo. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis weren't, in my opinion, the very best actresses (though they undoubtedly have tremendous talent), but I admit that they truly found themselves in their roles as Thelma and Louise, and that's something no one can take away from them. The fatefulness of that one moment when your entire future ends felt incredibly real to me. Harvey Keitel shone in the supporting role (as always). The ending has probably made its mark in cinematic history—the shot of the main characters holding hands and the subsequent leap off the cliff into certain death is one of the most impressive I've ever seen. I give it 86%. (19/09/2018)

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. (19/07/2012)

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.

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 :-) (29/12/2011)
