Drive-Away Dolls is a 2024 American comedy road film directed by Ethan Coen. Coen wrote the screenplay with his wife Tricia Cooke; they also produced the film with Robert Graf and Working Title Films' Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner. It stars Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, Bill Camp, and Matt Damon.

Qualley and Viswanathan play two lesbian friends who are running from mobsters on the road with a briefcase that the mobsters are after. It was released in Australia on February 22, 2024, and in the United States the following day.

Plot

In the final days of 1999, Santos sits in a Philadelphia bar nervously clutching a briefcase. He exits in a hurry and is followed by his bartender, who murders him in an alley and decapitates him.

Elsewhere in the city, Jamie and Sukie are lovers whose relationship falls apart due to Jamie's infidelity. When Sukie kicks her out of their apartment, she convinces her friend Marian to find a way to take a trip to clear their minds. Marian wants to visit her aunt in Tallahassee and convinces Jamie to go. They head into a driveaway car service, where someone can transport a car one-way for another client. Due to a misunderstanding, they are given a car that is coincidentally headed to Tallahassee and head out.

Moments later, a group of three criminals, Arliss, Flint, and their boss Chief come to the shop to pick up their car headed to Tallahassee and find that Jamie and Marian took it by accident, along with an unspecified cargo that is part of their illegal dealings. While straight-laced Marian wants to complete their task as soon as possible, Jamie constantly tries to convince her to loosen up by taking detours or trying to have casual sex at lesbian bars along the way. Marian prefers to read Henry James' The Europeans but slowly comes out of her shell due to Jamie's prodding. As they enter Florida a day late for the driveaway task, they get a flat tire and open the trunk to find that it has the briefcase from earlier and a basket with dry ice and Santos' head.

As they make this discovery, they are followed by Arliss and Flint, who are led on a wild goose chase by some soccer players who briefly partied with Jamie and Marian, but once the two check into a hotel using Jamie's credit card, the mob is tipped off to their location. Arliss, Flint, and Chief head to Tallahassee to get their goods while the two women transition from being friends to lovers when Jamie convinces Marian that she needs to have a positive sexual experience to enjoy life more. The next morning, the criminals arrive in town and Jamie decides to use the payload in the briefcase: a collection of dildos. Marian is shocked but Jamie insists that she just wants the sexual release that Marian had the night before.

Immediately after she climaxes, Arliss and Flint burst into their room and get Santos' head and the briefcase, while abducting the women at gunpoint. In the backroom at a dog racing track, the Chief arrives to meet them all and explains that the sex toys are particularly important as they are modeled after the genitals of powerful public figures, including one that was molded for Senator Channel, a right-wing politician whose career could be ruined by a sex scandal. This was the toy that Jamie used and it was accidentally left in the hotel room. When the gangsters have an argument that leads to Flint shooting the other two dead and running away, Jamie and Marian decide to blackmail the senator.

Sukie has also been en route to Tallahassee in her capacity as a police officer after Jamie tipped her off. Jamie and Marian meet Channel at a lesbian bar and give him the dildo in exchange for one million dollars. Sukie intercepts them as they exit and Channel turns back around to try and kill the women. Sukie shoots Channel, causing a media sensation.

The next day, Jamie and Marian meet with Marian's aunt at their hotel and Jamie casually mentions that they will soon go to Massachusetts, as same-sex marriage is legal there. As the trio drive away, a bellhop races to give them a bag that they left behind that has two dildos modeled after Channel's penis.

Production

Development and casting

Ethan Coen and his wife, Tricia Cooke, first pitched the idea for the film to their friend Allison Anders during a Christmas vacation in San Francisco in the early 2000s. The film was announced in January 2007 under the title Drive-Away Dykes, with Anders attached to direct. Coen said the tone was similar to the early 1970s exploitation romance films he saw as a teenager. Selma Blair, Holly Hunter, Christina Applegate, and Chloë Sevigny were among those attached to star at various points during pre-production.^[4] In April 2022, reports said Coen would be directing the film, which was now being described as an untitled "lesbian road trip project".^[5] It was produced by Coen, Cooke, Robert Graf, and Working Title principals Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.^[6]

It is the debut of Coen as a solo director, excluding the documentary Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind (2022), without the collaboration of his brother, Joel. It is also his first narrative film since The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018). Coen said he took a break from filmmaking in 2018 because he had grown bored with the process and experience of creating a film: "After 30 years, not that it's no fun, but it's more of a job than it had been. Joel kind of felt the same way but not to the extent that I did. It's an inevitable by-product of aging. And the last two movies we made, me and Joel together, were really difficult in terms of production. I mean, really difficult. So if you don't have to do it, you go at a certain point: Why am I doing this?" Coen and Cooke said they decided to make the film because the COVID-19 pandemic gave them the time to work on it.^[7]

In August 2022, Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan joined the cast.^[8] In September, Beanie Feldstein was added to the cast.^[9] In April 2023, the title was revealed to be Drive-Away Dolls, with Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp and Matt Damon added to the cast.^[10]

Filming

Filming began by August 2022 in Pittsburgh,^[11] with Ari Wegner serving as cinematographer.^[12] Production occurred in Hopewell Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania and in Lawrence, Washington County, Pennsylvania in October 2022.^[13]

Release

Drive-Away Dolls was released in Australia on February 22, 2024,^[14] followed by a release in the United States by Focus Features the next day.^[15] The film was originally scheduled to be released on September 22, 2023,^[1] but was delayed due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.^[15] The film is set to be released in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2024.^[16]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, Drive-Away Dolls was released alongside Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training and Ordinary Angels, and is projected to gross around $4 million from 2,261 theaters in its opening weekend.^[17]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 67% of 100 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10.^[18] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 59 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.^[19]

In a negative review, Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail wrote, "There is a fine line between endearing, breezy silliness and second-hand embarrassment, a border that the undercooked film crosses back and forth over and over again until there's no space left for your eyes to roll."^[20]

Tomris Laffly of RogerEbert.com gave the film three and a half out of four stars and wrote, "Sometimes, there is the slightest air of obviousness in Drive-Away Dolls, which can't avoid inevitable comparisons to older (and better) idiosyncratic crime capers, many of them by the Coens themselves. But that doesn't lessen the nostalgic bliss the film stirs in one with all its foul-mouthed, naughty glory; not when the fun had by everyone involved in the project is so palpable on the screen. In that, there is a disarming what the hell, why not quality to Cooke and Coen's writing, with the carefree words and actions of Jamie and Marian jovially bouncing off the page and landing on the viewers' eyes and ears with the same jubilant vigor."^[21]

 Tomris Laffly of ''[[RogerEbert.com]]'' gave the film three and a half out of four stars and wrote, "Sometimes, there is the slightest air of obviousness in ''Drive-Away Dolls'', which can't avoid inevitable comparisons to older (and better) idiosyncratic crime capers, many of them by the Coens themselves. But that doesn't lessen the nostalgic bliss the film stirs in one with all its foul-mouthed, naughty glory; not when the fun had by everyone involved in the project is so palpable on the screen. In that, there is a disarming ''what the hell, why not'' quality to Cooke and Coen's writing, with the carefree words and actions of Jamie and Marian jovially bouncing off the page and landing on the viewers' eyes and ears with the same jubilant vigor."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/drive-away-dolls-film-review-2024|title=Drive Away Dolls|first=Tomris|last=Laffly|website=[[RogerEbert.com]]|date=February 21, 2024|access-date=February 23, 2024}}</ref>
