Richard Brody reviews “Drive-Away Dolls,” a road movie of lesbians seeking love, directed by Ethan Coen and written by him and his wife, Tricia cook.

The action begins in Philadelphia, where the free-spirited, fun-loving Jamie , cracking wise in a Southern accent thick enough to break a tooth on, is caught cheating by her girlfriend Sukie , a police officer, who throws her out of their apartment . Jamie takes refuge with another friend, Marian , who is in need of a change of scenery and planning to visit an aunt in Tallahassee.

Arliss, a self-styled sophisticate, reproaches his partner for his crude methods, for his lack of people skills: “You think that life is an orderly series of people to beat the shit out of.” With a sardonic echo of pulp fiction’s earnest core, something to which the Coen sensibility is preternaturally attuned, the movie’s purest moment of pathos is given to Curlie, the woefully trapped and grievously disposable middleman.
