Thelma & Louise 1991

The Good:

  • A true feminist classic, still featuring the greatest female duo ever in a film.
  • Flawless performances from Susan Sarandon and Geena Davies, who support each other impeccably and have great chemistry.
  • Great visual direction from Ridley Scott. It's not quite Alien or Blade Runner, but it comes close.
  • Beautiful cinematography.
  • It's the ultimate buddy-movie-gone-rogue script by Callie Khouri.
  • Several memorable scenes: the confrontation with the state trooper, the rape sequence, THAT ending...
  • A small, yet important and annoyingly memorable performance from a young Brad Pitt.
  • Sharp humour and great dialogue.
  • Altogether great performances from the largely male-dominated supporting characters who, deservedly, are portrayed as incompetent swines.

The Bad:

  • It does feel somewhat stretched and repetitive at times.
  • While still a great road movie and feminist feature, some of the things featured in the film feel slightly dated by today's standards.

Verdict:
One of the iconic buddy films of the 20th century, Thelma & Louise is a visually stunning feminist feature with great characters and an addicting plot.
