Excellent movie that suffers by being compared to Thelma & Louise. Meg Tilly and Christine Lahti shine as the unlikely traveling companions whose problem-solving skills are limited to the geographical cure. Meg Tilly displays the same fey, other-worldly quality seen in Agnes of God, this time with flashes of spunk and overwhelming frustration. Darly as played by Christine Lahti likes to think she's the only one who sees the real world in all its gritty ugliness. Patrika Darbo lights up the screen as the briefly-seen 66. One hopes her happy ending actually came true for her. Thelma & Louise were continually victimized and reacting to various betrayals; their final pro-active decision was suicide. Marianne & Darly, on the other hand, are seen making one attempt after another to control their destinies rather than simply reacting. I gave this a 4-star rating because I think the cinematography could have been better, though perhaps it was my system that was lacking.
