Drive-Away Dolls (titled onscreen as Drive-Away Dykes) is a 2024 American crime comedy road film directed by Ethan Coen from a screenplay he co-wrote with his wife Tricia Cooke, who was also the film's editor; the two also produced the film with Robert Graf and Working Title's Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner; it is Coen's first narrative film without his brother Joel, and his second sole directorial work after the documentary Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind (2022). The film is followed by a continuation film Honey Don't!
Set in 1999, the film stars Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan as two lesbian best friends on a road trip who become involved in a criminal scheme. It co-stars Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, Bill Camp and Matt Damon. Drive-Away Dolls was released in Australia on February 22, 2024, and in the United States by Focus Features the following day. It received mixed reviews from critics.
