Drive-Away Dolls: Release date, cast, plot and everything we know

Joel and Ethan Coen, the celebrated duo of American independent cinema since the early 1980s, have made significant contributions to various film genres, including gangster films, film noir, and Westerns. Their work has been critically acclaimed, they are cherished by actors, and they boast several Academy Awards, including Best Picture for the dark Western “No Country for Old Men.” When the Coen Brothers decided to pursue individual projects, it left fans unsure of what to expect. However, last year’s award season brought the triumphant return of Joel Coen, who directed “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” featuring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. Now, it’s Ethan Coen’s turn to showcase his individual talent with his upcoming film, “Drive-Away Dolls” (2023).
