Thelma

LIGHTS, CAMERA, LIBRARY! Join us for a Films at the Library screening of Thelma, 12A (with free popcorn!)

 
June Squibb plays Thelma Post, a feisty grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (The White Lotus’ Fred Hechinger) and sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles, accompanied by an aging friend (Roundtree) and his motorized scooter, to reclaim what was taken from her.

“Squibb is as understatedly funny and commanding as you’d expect. Both actor and character remain, despite all societal and personal forces to the contrary, absolutely vital even as the circumstances and potential of life shrink. What a joy to witness it.” The Guardian
