Thelma - Reviews

...a charming and hilarious ode to action-movie excess, and it’s proof that Squibb’s star role was well worth the wait.

When writer/director Josh Margolin’s debut Thelma keeps its sights trained on its rogue granny on a mission (June Squibb), its hilarious geriatric reframe of action-movie tropes has a game champion.

Squibb’s charm, her gutsiness, and her sharp, subtle humor fill the movie with warmth and veracity.

It’s the balance of comedy and existential drama that truly elevates Thelma.

A sweet action comedy that spans the generational divide.

June Squibb is a delight in this sweet comedy about an irrepressible 93-year-old who won't take being scammed lying down.

...is buoyed by a consistently funny script, real pathos and stellar comic performances.

The fact that the film gives June Squibb – the type of actor most people know as scene-stealing characters rather than by name – her first leading film role at the age of 94 is reason enough to see it.

A smart senior thriller with shades of Little Miss Sunshine.

...a sweet twist on the revenge movie.

Den fenomenala 94-åringen i titelrollen som Thelma är full av jävlaranamma och driv, och lyckas med humor och känsla visa upp en äldre kvinna som är både sårbar och driftig.
