Screening of Ridley Scott's 1991 film 'Thelma & Louise' at the Hyperreal Film Club, a microcinema in Austin.
Hyperreal Film Club is screening Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise on Wednesday, August 12, at their space on Chicon Street. It's a 1991 road movie starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, and it's one of those titles that most people recognize even if they've never actually sat through it.
The film follows two women who set out on a road trip that spirals out of control, and it earned Oscar nominations for both Sarandon and Davis. It's remembered as a queer-coded, feminist, working-class triumph, and the club describes it as Scott's best movie: timeless, sexy, enraging, funny, righteous, and extremely American. If you've only ever heard the plot summarized, seeing it in a theater is a different thing entirely.
Hyperreal is an Austin microcinema that the Austin Chronicle named Most Marvelous Microcinema in its 2025 Critics Picks, and it took home Best More-Than-Just-Film Series back in 2017. It's the kind of place that treats a screening as more than just putting a movie on a screen, and Thelma & Louise fits right into that wheel.
