Ornery as a barbed-wire fence, Stella isnвЂ™t shy about picking fights, so itвЂ™s saying something that Dot can hold her own, giving Fricker plenty of room to play off DukakisвЂ™ fireworks.

No one they encounter en route quite knows what to make of her, but then, even Stella admits sheвЂ™s never known how to explain herself. A cowboy hat perched atop a crop of slicked-back white hair, Dukakis suggests an icon of vintage American masculinity: sparky greaser attitude in a folksy Andy Griffith package.

With an APB out for their arrest, the couple hit the road, вЂњThelma and LouiseвЂќ-style, in StellaвЂ™s beat-up red pickup truck. After squaring off with police, the old battle-ax stages a ludicrous jailbreak to liberate her life partner from an upstate Maine nursing home, resulting in a wildly funny (and nutty) setpiece. Eager to inherit their beautiful waterfront house, Molly tricks Dot into giving her power of attorney, but Stella hasnвЂ™t gotten this far playing by other peopleвЂ™s rules. At their glorious age, theyвЂ™ve fallen (in love) and canвЂ™t give up.Д®stranged and oblivious, DotвЂ™s granddaughter Molly (Kristin Booth) always assumed these two odd roommates were simply very good friends. Already deep into its festival run, this feisty crowdpleaser has deservedly collected audience, thesping and top-pic prizes at LGBT and mainstream fests alike.ДЇrom the outset, вЂњCloudburstвЂќ establishes the unconventional pairвЂ™s special dynamic, first with a gooey scene in which Stella describes the sunset to the sightless Dot, and later via a saucier moment in their shared bedroom as Stella teases her mate with a vibrator.

Adapting his own play to screen in such a way that one would never guess the resulting road movieвЂ™s legit pedigree, writer-director Thom Fitzgerald (вЂњThe Hanging GardenвЂќ) enticed his two leads with a script that delivers just the right balance of salty and sentimental, cleverly leavening its earnest subtext - that Dot and Stella have earned the right to be recognized as a couple - with generous doses of unapologetically blue humor.
