Synopsis
The feature directorial debut of Josh Margolin, THELMA is a poignant action-comedy that gives veteran Oscar nominee June Squibb (NEBRASKA) her first leading role and features the final performance of trailblazing actor Richard Roundtree (SHAFT). Squibb, who did most of her own stunts in the film, plays Thelma Post, a feisty 93-year-old grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (The White Lotus’ Fred Hechinger) and sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles, accompanied by an aging friend (Roundtree) and his motorized scooter, to reclaim what was taken from her. Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, and Malcolm McDowell also star.

"Squibb turned 93 on the set and insisted on doing most of her own stunts during the seven-week production." Your move Tom Cruise.

Hope HopkinsonJan 24, 2024Look at the bottoms of those trees. Look how gnarled they are, and yet they live. Not enough movies attempt to have honest conversations about being elderly— sometimes I think it’s because we are mostly afraid of the truths, the reality and the anxieties of being a burden…

ndc32002Jun 21, 2024Pretty magical that I can write that Thelma is the comedy film of the year and I sobbed over it the entire drive home after watching! Outrageously funny, impressively naturalistic, and so overwhelmingly earnest. I know for a fact that no other film this year has even come…

6.5/10 Thelma is a fun, light adventure where a 93-year-old grandma goes after scammers. It’s charming, funny, and surprisingly bold.
Darrin likedThelmaFun and entertaining film! Shows how adorable old people are. Was more funny than I expected it to be.
brooke lovedThelmaloved every minute of this hilarious & heartwarming
- Victor K likedThelma
I’m glad that this isn’t just about making fun of old people, having fun tension for a lot of comically absurd antics. Thelma is kinda the best character to follow & the movie allows itself to portray the inadequacies of age in brief but slightly touching ways. An endearing watch
Andrikk0s lovedThelmaI have assignment about representation throughout media and my group chose about old people and what better way to show that old people can be badasses with the baddest of them all, Thelma.
E lovedThelmaI loved this movie. It was incredibly sweet and emotional while also being laugh out loud funny. I had an amazing time watching it and would 100% recommend.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Such a *REAL* Movie real life problem of taking advantage of older, innocent people! Incredible story line. Great job to the Actors, Writers, Directors & everyone involved! 👏
NVNiah VivierI wish more movies were made this way! You can feel the love and attention to the story the director took to make this movie based on his own grandma. Incredibly sweet, so heartfelt, very funny and sincere! Excellent cast! No agenda or alterior motive like so many movies…
NMNatasha MoshinskyThis was an amazing comedy/drama and a plot line that occurs in real life all the time lately. I haven't enjoyed a movie in a while as much as I enjoyed this one :) Amazing!

There’s no doubting June Squibb’s charisma, and it’s refreshing to see her in a lead role at the grand age of 94.

Margolin’s empathy for Thelma (he based the story on a scam perpetrated on his own grandmother) lends the film a sweetness and occasional poignancy that help mitigate much of the foolishness.

The film reflects on issues of aging and autonomy with a mostly light touch, its protagonist making a strong case for the enduring spirit of elderly folks too often infantilized by both society and their loved ones.
