Benzina has a hip look to it. The film is set in a particularly bleak urban landscape and has plenty of noir elements and edge, visually speaking, but the story is ridiculous.

Reviews for Gasoline
[Director Monica] Stambrini drapes the film in a cultural scramble-suit.
07/04/03
By the time we get to the big finish, it feels as if we've merely been poked repeatedly in the ribs with a really good-looking stick.
08/27/03
Impressively stylish but curiously empty.
07/06/03
Tautly acted, fairly sexy and atmospheric.
07/01/03
Top CriticStambrini's dialogue seems especially dull, and the screenplay lacks dramatic urgency.
10/24/03
Top CriticAlthough inviting comparisons to such movies as 'Thelma & Louise,' 'Bound' and 'Boys Don't Cry,' this dark nighttime film stands on its own quite nicely.
06/18/03
Devoid of originality, Gasoline is at least a model of modesty -- a road movie that goes nowhere slowly, and ends up where it began.
07/01/03
Top CriticStambrini and her cinematographer, Fabio Cianchetti, give the proceedings a high-tech, energetic look that keeps the thrill and entertainment levels high.

Top CriticAs time tells (remember The Girl?), decidedly lesbian features, unless they have something more enlightening to show or tell, should stick the pornography market.
12/31/03
A notable debut for director Monica Stambrini.
03/26/03
For those who just can't get enough of Thelma & Louise or any of its numerous imitators, this birra's for you.

Thelma and Louise in Italy with teenage lesbians – Bravo!
10/06/03
A film that feels like a Europeanized compendium of just about every indie alt-action movie cliche of the past decade.
07/05/03
Top CriticContaining elements from more than a few of its similarly themed predecessors, the loopy but tautly staged Gasoline still manages to be engrossing throughout its brief running time.
07/08/03
Top CriticA welcome slice of moodiness in a film season hell-bent on happiness at all costs.
