DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS needs to turn up the volume
The Farrelly brothers, The Safdie Brothers, The Wachowski sisters – there’s no shortage of sibling director duos who have parted ways, either permanently or temporarily, to experiment on solo works. The Coen brothers joined their ranks with Joel Coen’s solo-directed film The Tragedy of Macbeth in 2021. If The Tragedy of Macbeth might have given any clue as to who the “serious one” of the duo was, Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls seems designed to give an equally emphatic answer as to the source of the duo’s comedic chops.
