Rewind, Review, and Re-Rate: ‘Thelma & Louise’: An Unfair Fight for Feminism

R | 2h 10min | Adventure, Crime, Drama | 24 May 1991 (USA)

I saw “Thelma & Louise,” Ridley Scott’s paean to feminism in 1991 with an acting school ex-classmate. I observed the drug-like effect that one of the film’s minor characters was having on her, and I made a note to keep an eye on the career of a young actor whose golden hair and ripped abs were only part of his already formidable X-factor. You can always spot a star being born, like Scarlett Johansson in “Ghost World,” Jack Black in “Bob Roberts,” and Tim Robbins in “Bull Durham.”
