Thelma & Louise [4K UHD + Blu-Ray] (Criterion Collection) – UK Only
Already had this on Blu-ray but was tempted by this 4K release, although being a criterion disc it was not cheap, however the 4K really hits the mark, and the extras are very good too. Original price is 22.99, I would suggest as I did, and wait for it to become a bit cheaper.
I cannot fault this film, some have said it’s a man hating picture, I disagree, it is not and I suggest you watch it closely and listen to the dialogue, it’s a film about two women finding themselves, it’s a road film, it’s a chase film, it’s a film with tremendous heart and director Ridley Scott brings his usual competent directing style, he is a very visual director and there is wonderful scenery to look at in the second half of the film.
Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are great as the leads and there is a fine supporting cast, this 4K UHD release from Criterion also boasts a good selection of extra content, I highly recommend it.
The first thing that struck me about this release was Criterion’s new packaging, and I really hope they keep this up.
The film itself is wonderful and the print stunning with a plethora of extras. Highly recommended
The film’s a nailed-on five star classic, but worth buying again?
Absolutely. The higher resolution isn’t always apparent, but it’s definitely a step up. But it’s the HDR that really lifts the film – so much of it is outside in the sun that it perhaps shouldn’t be a surprise, but it makes the previous blu ray look flat in comparison – ditto the lighting in bars and cafes and the emergency vehicles’ lighting. (Based on a US import of the Criterion disc – no reason to expect the UK one to be anything other than identical.)
Down with sexism!
