Movie Haiku:In his American debut, award-winning French filmmaker (plus screenwriters Marion Doussot & Joelle Touma) riffs THELMA & LOUISE, but how times have changed! Marilyn (Miller) made a "love match" but her husband is now unemployed & acting out. Mona (Farahani) is in an arranged marriage, therefore a virtual slave to her mother-in-law. And so, the open road beckons... Not yet seen by Rich.
