Andy McDowell’s daughter starred in a comedy about lesbians. There are plenty of sex scenes

It begins with a murder, but quickly a lesbian comedy starring Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan turns into a road movie filled with lesbian sex. Andy McDowell’s daughter is not afraid of bold scenes here.

“Goodbye, dolls” – a refreshed script from 20 years ago

Tricia Cooke and Ethan Coen created “Goodbye Dolls” as an element of cinema touching on LGBT themes. The script has been lying in Tricia’s drawer for the last 20 years and has only now seen the light of day. It required slight corrections, but the spirit of those times is still alive in “Laleczki”. At the very end of the 1990s, a lesbian couple – introverted Marian and extroverted Jamie – set off in a rented car to then conservative Florida. The car hides a surprise – two suitcases that he wants back, just like in Guy Ritchie’s films – three gangsters: one eloquent, the second a bit numb and the third (the boss) “the one in the suit”. There are plenty of absurd plot twists in “Goodbye Dolls” and there is an exceptionally large number of different dildos, which for some may be enough of an argument to go to the cinema.

The main role was played by a rising star with an acting pedigree – the daughter of Andy McDowell, who, despite her young age, has already had over a dozen film roles in top Hollywood productions in recent years and in several highly rated series. She could be seen, among others, in “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood”, “Fosse/Verdon” and “The Cleaning Lady”, for which she was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe. In recent weeks, the young actress has also been present on the set of “Poor Creatures” by Yorgos Lanthimos. Margaret Qualley now played the role of Jamie, who in “Goodbye Dolls” had probably the most lines to learn out of the entire crew and… the most bed scenes. Qualley also changed her accent to a more southern one for her character’s needs:

Ethan Coen made me listen to interviews with Tommy Lee Jones over and over again, she said in an interview with Yahoo Entertainment.

Geraldine Viswanathan starred alongside her. The actress played the main role in the series “Miracle Workers” along with Karan Soni, Jon Bass and Steve Buscemi. Viswanathan feels great about comedy and has specialized in it since the beginning of his career. As Marian, she takes the distraught Jamie on a journey that will change their lives.

Both actresses were assisted in intimate scenes by an intimacy coordinator. “I’ve never had someone like that on set, I didn’t know what to expect. I was convinced he would be a pain in the ass, but our Chelsea Pace was great. A person like that on set, if listened to, is very helpful,” said Ethan Coen in an interview with MovieMaker. Pace helped adjust the set and the entire sequence of shots so that both the director and the actresses were satisfied with their work. “It’s difficult because everyone on set is… a little bit intimate, and it’s not the most comfortable day to be shooting scenes like that. But Chelsea made everyone feel more comfortable,” Cooke explained.

Writer: “Can we take the jokes even lower?”

Screenwriter Tricia Cooke, privately Ethan Coen’s wife, admitted in an interview with “” magazine that she encouraged him to take an even more absurd approach in the film.

I have to say it – I was the one who brought Ethan down to really low, primitive levels. I was definitely the one at work saying, “Can we take the jokes even lower?” – she admitted. – Sometimes you need to make a film that is just for eating popcorn and taking a break from the hardship of the day. And in general, from the world. Escape movie.

The couple had collaborated many times in previous years, but they finally decided to make a film together that was deeply related to the LGBT community. This is a very important topic, especially for Tricia Cooke – the director’s wife identifies as a lesbian and creates an open relationship with her husband based on partnership, in which other people also participate.

I did what these girls did at the beginning of the century, I also went to lesbian bars, Cooke explained in an interview with IndieWire.

And in an interview she added that thanks to her experiences from those years, she became an expert on the set on what such bars should look like and… where exactly to place the dildo screwed to the wall.
