The very welcome move from the Criterion Collection to expand into 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc releases in the UK continues into 2024, with the confirmation that Ridley Scott’s Thelma & Louise is set to join the format. The film has already enjoyed a 4K release in the US, and we get it over here on 29th January 2024. You can find the release, and preorder a copy, right here. The extra features, as you’d expect from Criterion, are extensive. Here’s what’s on the disc…
