	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"An unnervingly effective slow-burn, and those with the patience for Trier’s patient accumulation of detail will find it pays off in unexpected ways."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A stylish, distinctively Scandinavian take on familiar horror themes (...) Its intelligent, measured tone and elegant visual style will find admirers"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[Trier] is a phenomenal craftsman (...) This is a beautifully modulated thriller, and it comes with a message that feels valuable"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"An ominous, unnerving, and strangely powerful thriller (...) The stillness of this unassuming film ultimately becomes the scariest thing about it"	POS
United States	Jake Cole Slant	"'Thelma's transition into a paranormal thriller doesn’t complicate its initially potent character study (...) Too much of the film feels like a school thesis (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"An arthouse version of 'X-Men', Bergman and Stephen King (...) Superbly directed and written (...) the already captivating 'Thelma' is further bolstered by a terrific central performance by Eili Harboe"	POS
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"Trier remains sensitively attuned to the emotional wavelengths of young characters (...) It’s at once too metaphorically muddled and too dramatically straightforward."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Thelma's sustained, muted uneasiness gives this genre exercise sufficient gusto (...) Rafaelsen and Petersen are especially effective"	POS
