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.

Mashable

Bolstered by some cheeky action tropes, including twists, chases, gunplay, and even an explosion, Thelma is more than a winsome romp. It's a real thrill.

Slant Magazine

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

Rated: 3/4

Sure, it’s an action vehicle with training wheels, but it’s also a reminder to treat the most vulnerable among us with the respect they deserve — and to underestimate them at our own peril.

Nonagenarian June Squibb is in the driver's seat in this hilarious + heartwarming action comedy. Can't believe this is Squibb's first leading role, but I'd love to see her do more!

Rated: 4/5

Riffs on multiple action beats without leaning into parody.

Thelma is a riotous time at the movies, and so much of that rests on Squibb’s shoulders.
