WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
When a tragic event at a roadside dive initiates a run from the law across the American southwest, the two women face-off to their uncertain future. The friendship that strengthens between the two is both vital and spirited and the only thing that lends hope and guidance in a world that is collapsing in on them. With an Academy Award®-winning script by Callie Khouri, and stellar Oscar® nominated performances by Sarandon and Davis, this poignant film crosses all boundaries and will stir the critical imagination for decades to come.
