Drive-Away Dolls (2024) review

Lesbian "friends" Jamie (Margaret Qualley) and Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) go on a road trip from Philly to Tallahassee using a rented Dodge Aries - Jamie, the more extroverted one, plans on visiting multiple gay bars on the way down - but unbeknownst to either of them there are "valuable items" in the trunk that cause them to get pursued by two criminals (Joey Slotnick and C.J. Wilson) following the order of their boss (Colman Domingo).  It's trying to be this quirky and irreverent LGBTQ+ movie with out-of-place psychedelic sequences (Miley Cyrus makes an uncredited cameo appearance as "Tiffany Plastercaster," who creates molds of erect phalluses) and plenty of gaudiness (the camerawork and editing might induce a headache), but Ethan (who co-wrote the script with his spouse Tricia Cooke, who identifies as queer) is too inherently sophisticated to create a semi-entertaining sexploitation feature.  Almost every single line of dialogue Jamie utters (in a grating Southern accent) has to do with her incessant horniness, which I'm guessing the filmmakers think is actually amusing when, in reality, it's simply intolerable.  Film scholars should have a field day with it, though: Joel "splits" to adapt Shakespeare with Denzel, while his brother not-so-secretly wants to be Jack Hill....
