Thelma

"[It] is sweet and poignant, sentimental without getting sappy. Just the fact that it gives Squibb the first leading screen role of her seven-decade career makes it a satisfying watch" 

"With 'Thelma', Josh Margolin tries out a different approach, casting nonagenarian character actor June Squibb as an unlikely yet satisfying action star. It’s a cute idea, celebrating the willpower and determination of a 93-years-young woman" 

"Josh Margolin imagines, quite cleverly, what a 'Mission: Impossible' film might look like for a 94-year-old woman, but he doesn't scrimp on deeper issues either (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"When it lets Thelma do her thing, the comedy is perfectly cute and a stellar showcase for what an actor’s late career can offer" 

"June Squibb and Richard Roundtree delight in elderly heist comedy" 

"Sweet, charming, and uplifting, 'Thelma' is a joy to watch. It's the type of movie that will make you want to call your grandparents" 

"It’s no disrespect to remark that 'Thelma' isn’t necessarily groundbreaking cinema (...) Margolin does, however, make you reconsider the state of senior living and those who rightfully want to live on their own"
