Written by Coen and his wife Tricia Cooke (who spent years as the Coen siblings’ go-to editor), the film follows Jamie (Margaret Qualley), an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) who desperately needs to loosen up.
In search of a fresh start, the two embark on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals along the way…
The likes of Beanie Feldstein (who appears to be stealing scenes), Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo and Matt Damon also show up in this one, which, following a strike-mandated schedule shift, will land in US cinemas on 23 February, followed by a UK release on 15 March.
