See how a 93 year old grandmother gets revenge on a phone scammer in "Thelma" on Sunday 18th May at 16:00.
Get ready for a wild ride with Thelma (2024), a fresh and hilarious action-comedy that proves age is just a number when it comes to adventure. Starring the legendary June Squibb in her first-ever leading role at 93, this film is a must-watch for anyone who loves sharp humour, high-energy action, and a whole lot of heart. Inspired by a real-life scam experienced by director Josh Margolin’s grandmother, Thelma follows the feisty and independent 93-year-old Thelma Post. When she falls victim to a phone scam, losing a hefty sum of money, she refuses to let it go. Instead of backing down, Thelma embarks on an epic quest to track down the scammers and get her money back – with the reluctant help of her grandson (played by Fred Hechinger). What follows is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud journey filled with thrilling chase sequences, unexpected allies, and a touching exploration of ageing, resilience, and family.
With a stellar supporting cast including Richard Roundtree in his final film role and Parker Posey, Thelma offers a refreshing take on the action genre, blending comedy with genuine emotion. Critics and audiences alike have praised its witty script, dynamic performances, and heartfelt message.
