Thelma
After losing $10,000 to a phone scam, 93-year- old Thelma Post (June Squibb) embarks on a treacherous quest to reclaim what was stolen from her in this gentle revenge comedy.
Inspired by director Josh Margolin’s real-life experience with his own grandmother, Thelma puts a clever, hilarious spin on the action film genre, positioning an ordinary grandmother as an unlikely action hero. With the help of her children, friends, and devoted grandson, Thelma warms hearts as she navigates the perils of Los Angeles in search of her money. Thelma is as sweet as she is stubborn, and above all, determined to age with dignity. A story exploring aging, family and autonomy (and uniquely inspired by action movies like Mission: Impossible) - Thelma marks Squibb’s first leading film role of her 70+ year career.
Director: Josh Margolin

Language: English
Year: 2024
