SUMMARY
Two women, trampled on by the men in their life, find their strength to live freely as criminals. Thelma goes from weak housewife, to robbing a bank. Louise shoots and kills a man, and it is implied that she was raped in the past.
RATING
B+
The classic movie is a classic for a reason. This is a rollercoaster of a movie, carried along by two strong leads and a empowering character arc. I like that both women aren't necessarily completely weak at the beginning of the film - as a maximalist screenwriting technique would have them - but rather not fully realized. There's kinda a subtlety there.
