Cheyenne & Lola

I loved this bleak, funny series. The acting is superb Veerle in particular is brilliant as the put upon but tough older sister to everyone.

It's obvious this is written by a female because they own the screen and the story, definitely worth your time.

It's intelligent, fun and absolutely wild. Charlotte LeBon and Veerle Baetens are brilliant and the direction is perfect.

This French series reminds us of Thelma and Louise but updated to 2020. In the bleak city of Dunkirk in between the ferries to England and the trailer park on the beach, the men are losers, thugs and local crime lords, the women are penniless wannabe's, bad mothers or hopelessly in love. Veerle Baetens as Cheyenne, leading the interesting cast, is excellent.

I've been a Veerle Baetens fan for years and I think she is one of the best but perhaps most under appreciated actresses working...ANYWHERE. She is why I decided to watch because otherwise this would generally not be my type of show. And Veerle doesn't disappoint. She almost always looks completely different in each of her roles. Would recommend Code 37 and The Broken Circle Breakdown. As for Cheyenne and Lola, Charlotte Le Bon gives a strong performance as the second half of the mismatched duo. The script does wander a but is generally compelling and populated with some interesting characters who move the story adroitly with good tension being built. There are also some well placed and appreciated comedic elements mostly involving the the two leads. It's definitely worth the watch.

The characters are empty, uninteresting and the performances are simply appalling. The story line does not compare to Thelma and Louise in its complexity and subtleties. In brief, if you like cinema, don't waste your time.
