"Surprisingly exciting and laugh-out-loud funny, Thelma is a warm-hearted joyride." - Empire Magazine
When 93-year-old Thelma becomes the victim of a phone scam, she embarks on a perilous quest across the city to confront the scammers!
June Squibb finally gets her flowers as a leading lady and is absolutely delightful as the titular Thelma, the scorned granny with a grievance. Thelma brings the thrills, spills - and pills - but its primary focus is the affectionate and spirited relationship between a grandmother and her grandson, which is as skilfully composed as the pulse-racing (slow speed) action!
Through its stars and its message, Thelma proves it’s never too late to get your flowers… or seek bloody vengeance!
