Grab your bestie, buckle up, and come along for the ride.
, released by MGM ahead of the film’s 1991 premiere, painted the movie as a spunky buddy comedy about two women on a wild fishing vacation. While Thelma and Louise do initially embark on a fishing trip, the film takes a darker turn within the first 20 minutes when the duo stop at a roadhouse and a man attempts to rape Thelma. Louise, who we later discern has been grappling with her own traumatic past of sexual assault, intervenes and ends up killing him.
In addition to being a remarkable meditation on rape culture, the movie became the blueprint for the Girls Trip canon, a sub-genre of film defined by its women-led casts and journey-based storytelling. The movies feed off of the inherently transcendent nature of travel, be it the surplus of unsanctioned time on a road trip or the endless possibilities that come with flying to a new place.
