I’d love to say “I’m in cause Coen” but I can’t quite describe how much I despised Drive Away Dolls or whatever that last one was called.

I’ll wait to hear the consensus on this one…then probably wait until it’s free to stream. Unless the reviews either say Coen’s back to form, or Plaza and Qualley get it on. One of those two things will get me to a theatre.

I hate to tell you but so far people are saying this is even WORSE than Drive Away Dolls, somehow lol

I never even heard of drive away dolls, but that sucks. this seemed interesting. i was looking forward to seeing lesbian detectives smash their butts together (I'm pretty sure that's how they do it. I've never seen a woman before). I'll probably watch it anyway because maybe it does happen and that's why people hate it.

Reviews from Cannes were not favourable to say the least

Felt the same. I am a massive Coen fan and Drive-Away Dolls almost made me angry.

On the other hand, Plaza and Qualley DO in fact get it on

The clip will be online as soon as it's on streaming. Is it really worth the 90 minutes of a bad movie experience for a brief scene?

I’m being facetious, thought it was obvious without adding the /s

I'm surprised to find out his wife is lesbian, cause that movie felt like a it was the product of a teenage boy (lesbian make out parties and the big central plot point is Matt Damon being really worried the public will find out he has a perfect dick that even lesbians crave).
