Review of Thelma & Louise (1991) by Christopher S — 11 Feb 2012

Much darker and deeper than your ordinary chick flick. Director Ridley Scott and cinematographer Adrian Biddle craft the highways of America into an unexpected visual masterwork, but despite how extraordinary the slick visual spectacle is, it does kind of quash some of the intimacy of Callie Khouri's much-lauded script, which is not without its flaws itself.

Still, the performances are strong and, even though it's been imitated so many times since, it remains fresh and original (despite Hans Zimmer's incredibly dated score and the slew of pop songs on the soundtrack).
