Thelma

6:30pm - Monday, Aug 12, 2024

When 93-year-old Thelma Post (June Squibb) gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.

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 humor, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency - and marks Squibb’s first leading film role of her 70+ year career. With Fred Hechinger, Richard Roundtree, Parker Posey.

"At 94, screen veteran June Squibb gets her first leading role and carries the movie with style." (Chicago Sun-Times)
