A necessary mistake pushes two soulmates into the fast lane and challenges them in every direction. Not a happy tale of freedoms and adventure; but an epic road movie about friendship and the struggle to stay afloat, ahead, alive. Explores themes from gender stereotypes to capital punishment; misogyny to suicide. Many memorable moments and scenes and repetitions. I love that Thelma takes off her rings to have sex; and, later, Louise ditches the silver as she prepares for the endgame. At times operatic, this movie keeps pace and uplift. Texas has never been as scary a place for a woman.
