THELMA
Saturday 26th April 2025 at 7.30pm
"Revenge has never been sweeter."
Comedy Drama
Thelma Post (June Squibb) finds herself duped out of money and more when a scam caller pretends to be her grandson. Unwilling to sit back and let herself be a victim, she sets off into the city to find the perpetrator and take back what is hers.
Inspired by a real-life experience of 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 aging with agency.
Rotten Tomatoes 98%
Thelma is one of the funniest, warmest action films you'll ever see. Squibb does a great job as the title character in her first ever leading role ( ! ) showing vulnerability, courage and heart.
Always Good Movies
It's a really great film, super-funny, super-entertaining but also with a great heart and a very interesting human exploration of the condition of elderly people. It is also very very tender.
