Run time: 98mins
Directed by: Josh Margolin
Cast | June Squibb, Fred Hechinger, Richard Roundtree, Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, Malcolm McDowell
This summer, action has a new name: June Squibb.
A celebrated US screen actress and the Oscar-nominated star of Nebraska, Squibb takes centre stage – in a starring role for the first time at 94, and doing most of her own stunts – in Josh Margolin’s new action comedy about a grandmother refusing to accept the limitations of age. Thelma also features the final performance of trailblazing actor Richard Roundtree (Shaft).
When Thelma Post (Squibb) is duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (Fred Hechinger), she sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles – accompanied by an ageing friend (Roundtree) and his motorised scooter – to reclaim what is hers.
Brilliantly performed by Squibb, sincere, sensitive and very funny, Thelma also makes real points about the experience of ageing in a world that constantly underestimates the elderly… at its own peril.
With a superb supporting cast including Parker Posey, Malcolm McDowell and Clark Gregg.
