Monday Night Cinema: Thelma

Determined not to let the con artist win, she sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles - accompanied by an aging friend, Ben (the late Richard Roundtree), and his motorized scooter - to reclaim what was taken from her.

Inspired by a real-life experience of debut director Josh Margolin’s own highly spirited grandmother, Thelma shines the spotlight on an elderly lady as an unlikely action hero with humour and an emotional undercurrent. Employing a lot of the familiar tropes of the action genre, Thelma tackles aging with both agency and hilarity.
