Thelma & Louise
Directed by Ridley Scott
- TanalienJanuary 9, 2025Who knows how these women became friends? As soon as they joined onscreen, I did not want it to stop. The chemistry between Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis is wonderful. Their characters’ buddy-buddy dynamic is only aided by their contrasts. Louise is the more experienced, senior buddy and Thelma is the immature lady acting on spur-of-the-moment opportunities. As they begin their journey, it becomes evident how much the authenticity of the story is served by the driving locations, motels, gas stations, and acting extras. I am glad this movie was given the budget to spread its wings with packed highways, beautiful scenery shots, and some seriously awesome pyrotechnics. Oddly enough, when the background is well taken care of, character comes into greater focus. Making it fun, their roles in the relationship do not remain static.
