Thelma

"🌟3.25/5🌟
Well, darn. I had built THELMA (2024) up in my mind to be an over-the-top, hilarious, laugh-out-loud slapstick comedy, picturing Thelma zipping around on her scooter and mowing down criminals. 😂👵🏼🛵💥 Instead, it turned out to be more of a light comedy, with much of the humor arising from the contrast between Thelma’s age and her unexpected vigilante actions, along with her amusing struggles with technology. 💻 While there were many #heartfelt moments and reflections on #aging, the film leans more toward a delightfully #charming #comedy, infused with a good dose of #emotional depth, rather than non-stop hilarity. That’s okay, even though a couple of scenes felt melancholy due to her reflections on aging. But best of all was the bond between Thelma and her grandson. 👵🏼💞🧑🏼‍🦱 "

"So many laughs! Arguably the most energetic movie theater experience I’ve ever had!? SIFF 2024 is off the a hot start. Watch this one with your grandparents."

"Watched this with my girly the other night. It was perfect! June Squibb is outstanding! At 94 years old, I’ve seen her in so much the last few years and she does not disappoint! She’s hilarious! This movie is somewhat based on a true story which makes it sad, however .. there’s the comedy aspect as well. Good for the original actor! (Seen at the end of the film) 💪🏼 definitely a light hearted watch. 8.5/10 ⭐️"

"A coming of age story senior citizen style. "

"This movie gave me so many good laughs. But I’m glad it highlights the struggles people may go through when they get older and it’s important to be able to ask for help when you need it and take care of eachother . Such a good movie !"

"This was a really unexpected delight. "

"i miss my grandma. 😭 if you’re highly anxious or sensitive it is not fun to watch old people be sad 😢 but june is a treasure and I would do anything for her "
