66%

Thelma & Louise (1991)
86%
“On the subject of women and their destiny, Thelma & Louise is unequivocally pessimistic yet, to me, the film doesn't feel pessimistic for one second. Disguised as an upbeat, exciting, entertaining comic adventure, Thelma & Louise dares to be tragic.” –

66%

Come and See (1985)
89%
“Come and See is grueling to watch. Klimov gets so involved in constructing a poetical/symbolic framework for Florya's suffering that the film strays into vague, plotless terrain where one dream looks like the next. ” –
