Drive-Away Dolls: 'Dirty, nasty humour' in Ethan Coen’s lesbian comedy caper

One half of the Coen Brothers, the veteran filmmaker has teamed up with his wife this time around to make this tale of a road trip gone wrong 

Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan in Drive-Away Dolls.  

Now, the filmmakers’ dream has become a reality. Starring Maid’s Margaret Qualley and The Beanie Bubble’s Geraldine Viswanathan as leading lesbians Jamie and Marian, Drive-Away Dolls represents a new frontier in queer cinema, one that caters to, as Coen puts it, “an under-served audience for stupid gay movies”.

Written and directed by Coen brother Ethan – who, along with his brother Joel, made films such as Fargo, The Big Lebowski and No Country For Old Men – and co-written with his wife, film editor and producer Tricia Cooke, Drive-Away Dolls tells a raucous story of a road trip gone wrong.
