Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Hitchcoc You know, Hollywood can be pretty casual about suicide. This is an irreversible decision to a short term problem. When the two women go over the cliff in a blaze of glory, they are about to be dead. They are giving up the most precious gift they have, their own lives, because they are about to be apprehended. I have trouble with the sheer stupidity of these two characters who apparently many viewers see has heroic. Obviously, the inciting incident, the attempted rape by the guy they shoot, was totally wrong. It's also a reality that in some hole in the wall bar, getting friendly with a stranger and drinking too much could get you into a horrible situation. It's not right; it just is! So now they're off and what's next? They meet the smooth talking Brad Pitt character. He already admits he's a small time crook, so they leave a bunch of money around for him to take. Then, after robbing a gas station, they get into it with some stupid truck driver. Of course, the portrayal is that every male they come into contact sees them and pulls down his pants. I know! It's just a movie. This leads them to their final act. Without contemplating the possibility that they could probably survive this...off the cliff they go with smiles on their faces. If they had been real people, it would have meant there were two less idiots left in the world.
Keanan Tunstall I don't quite know what it is about this film.This film is really, really good. it is a plethora of emotion, from jovial to gloomy, it has it all. I began to watch this film with the worst intentions. however was utterly surprised.I loved the character development of Thelma and Louise. and even the side characters of Madsen, Keitel and Pitt were all fantastic too. they all felt human and showed true raw human emotion. This film oddly reminds me of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" because of its great ability to make you feel happy and sad, there are very few films that can do this for me, and when it does it makes the happy bits better and the sad times sadder.This film may not look it, but it is great.
Predrag "Thelma and Louise" is all and none of the things as which it has been described. It is about the friendship between two women, about female independence and male sexism, but it is neither a simple "chick flick" nor a monument to feminism (although I have to admit that watching it can have an almost therapeutic effect when you've just about "had it" again with the male slightly-less-than-half of society). Most of the men that Thelma and Louise encounter are two-dimensional cartoon characters, but "Reservoir Dogs" and perpetual tough guys Harvey Keitel and Michael Madsen (of all people) are cast against stereotype. The movie also features some absolutely stunning pictures of the Southwestern scenery and mostly takes place on the road, but it is not just a "road movie" (feminist or otherwise). More than anything, this is a movie about the things that shape the way we are, and about the consequences of our actions. Had Thelma learned to use her brain before and not after their encounter with Harlan the rapist, she would have seen him for what he was and avoided him from the start. Had Louise not been raped herself, she would probably not have shot Harlan at being provoked by him, after the self-defense situation was already over. Impulse? Fate? Justifiable homicide? Hardly. Thoroughly understandable? Absolutely, at least from a woman's point of view.But above all else, it's a movie about two humans getting caught up in a maddening spiral of events that have taken on a life of their own - a perfect parable for what's happening all over the world, day in and day out. You set something in motion and from that moment on it's beyond your control. Thelma and Louise's only "triumph" is their acknowledgment that they have done this to themselves. They don't say so of course; but their final action says it for them. The plot could've also been one dimensional and uninteresting, but writer Callie Khouri again made of sparkle with inventive sequences, a solid mix of action, laughter and drama, and crackling dialogue. And the direction by cinematic director Ridley Scott is audacious. The last sequence is one of the most beautiful images in cinema, and it brought a bit of a tear to my eye. Whilst there are some laughs along the way to endure (such as the pair blowing up a foul-mouthed van drivers vehicle up), Thelma And Louise stands as a compelling and riveting drama.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
imdbstinks Nice pictures, stupid story. How unbelievably stupid the male characters are. And the stupid decisions the two women take, are just boring. All to begin with, the a act of violence which is the foundation of the entire movie. Read the other negative references.Just don't watch it (unless you are a miserable 50 year old female who never had any happy moments in life, particularly not with the other sex).why did she shoot that guy in the first place - why don't they split the money - why are all guys idiotswhy woman of the women who is portrait as mostly nervous in hectic situations suddenly able to pull of an amazing criminal action
