Thelma
When 93 year old Thelma falls victim to a phone scammer, she embarks on a perilous mission to get her money back.
Director: Josh Margolin
97 mins / 2024 / USA
At 94, screen veteran June Squibb gets her first leading role and carries the movie with style’ – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother, Thelma puts a clever spin on movies like Mission Impossible: shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero.
With infectious humour, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle ageing with agency.
In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business, despite what her daughter Gail, son-in-law Alan, or grandson Danny might believe.
