Drive-Away Dolls Interview: Margaret Qualley Has a Hilariously Relatable Road Trip Weakness

Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s new movie, Drive-Away Dolls, rocks an A ensemble of some of the brightest stars in the business. Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Beanie Feldstein have already proven they’re top-tier talent, some of the best of their generation, and they do so yet again in this wonderfully wild road trip caper comedy. Qualley and Viswanathan lead as Jamie and Marian. Having just ended a relationship with Feldstein’s character, a no-nonsense, unapologetic cop name Sukie, Jamie’s indulging in the free-spirit lifestyle. Marian, on the other hand, is far more strait-laced — the grammar police, enjoys some reading before bed, and isn’t into casual hooks-up. When the two take a road trip together in a drive-away car, Marian’s planned straight trip to Tallahassee, Florida for some birding turns into a wild ride with a number of unexpected stops, some shocking illicit cargo, and also some unforeseen romance. Jamie, Marian, and Sukie are bold personalities in the midst of a madcap adventure. While I’m sure all three popped nicely on the page, especially given it’s a Coen and Cooke-penned screenplay, characters like that can’t soar on screen without singular and fearless performers behind them. While chatting with the trio ahead of Drive-Away Dolls’ February 23rd release, they discussed their approach to bringing these characters to life on screen and also revealed their personal road trip strengths and weaknesses.
