Thelma & Louise

Ridley Scott’s dust-caked rush of female empowerment is an absolute thrill, thanks to engrossing performances from Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, and a sparkling debut script from Callie Khouri.

Sarandon and Davis are profoundly perfect.

The script by first-time screen writer Callie Khoury is refreshingly insightful about women and men in a brave new America.

Exuberant and provocative, this remarkable movie boldly goes where no so-called "women's picture" has ever gone before.

Every frame has a marvelous touch... These big, glossy images may owe too much to Scott's advertising background, but they're as terrific and irresistible as Sarandon and Davis.

From a screenplay by female scriptwriter Callie Khouri, Scott has fashioned a remarkably conventional morality tale about sex and drink, rock and roads.

Whenever we look back on the great American road trip movies, this will forever remain at the top, thanks to excellent performances by both Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis.

The key points of symbolism that are displayed in Thelma & Louise are no accident, but they are there to show the extreme changes in the women from beginning to end.

takes the broad parameters of a number of well-worn, male-dominated genres and turns them on their head, deriving all manner of pleasure and pain from both its close adherence to the tradition and its constant inversion

Thelma & Louise is such a finely crafted and seminal film that one might be tempted to call it a masterpiece.
