Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1994) is Gus Van Sant's offbeat road comedy you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from Tom Robbins' beloved 1976 counterculture novel. Uma Thurman plays Sissy, a woman born with enormous thumbs — a peculiarity that makes her the finest hitchhiker alive.

Sissy drifts across America and lands at the Rubber Rose Ranch, a beauty retreat run by free-spirited cowgirls. Keanu Reeves, John Hurt, and Lorraine Bracco join a cast of misfits in a film that values atmosphere and whimsy over conventional plotting.

This is one of Van Sant's riskier experiments — looser and stranger than his celebrated work around the same era. It rewards viewers who read Robbins and appreciate counterculture irreverence over narrative tidiness. Stream Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1994) online on iFILM.
