I don't really know when I'll lose it and kill myself over a gut-wrenching ending that shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Like thelma and louise only without all the violence and a lot more talk about smashin’ clams. Why does it feel like they made the hitch-hiker study young Paul Rudd films 🤔

this movie is so tender, surprisingly HILARIOUS, and a lovely little movie about two elderly lesbians on the lam
