Where to Watch Thelma
- thomasrogers753June 26, 2026I love old people
- RickAugust 1, 2025Mission: Impossible granny style. Such a fun and heartfelt movie that carries a nice message as well.
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025The Beekeeper Origins. 93 y/o Thelma (June Squibb) gets duped by a scammer and sets out on a revenge quest to get her money back. She cleverly employs various modes of nonagenarian spy tech (like personal sound amplifiers, life alert trackers, and a rascal scooter) to achieve her goal. It’s an incredibly fun romp carried by Squibb’s endearing performance and her playful back and forth with Richard Roundtree’s Ben (R.I.P.), whom Thelma has coaxed along for the ride. The supporting players are equally charming. Parker Posey, Fred Hechinger, Clark Gregg and Malcolm McDowell with a special shout out to Stare-y Gary, but this is Squibb’s film through and through. Definitely worthy of checking out.
- johnmgroverMay 31, 2025A good film with some touching moments. If you have older parents this is something that you can relate to, done in a nice gentle humorous way. Into how things can be when we are getting older really well played by everyone.
- VarunOctober 19, 2024A very wholesome and sweet movie that has some nice lessons on old age and family that’s delivered through a unique chase down journey. I wasn’t too big of a fan of the pacing. I also didn’t enjoy the comedy that much and some of the dialogues were a bit boring. But this is a really nice family film and I’m glad I watched the 90+ years old June Squibb give an absolutely amazing performance.
- diego.574April 20, 2025I'm glad to know that a movie I didn't expect anything from has pleasantly surprised me. It has everything: comedy, a bit of drama, and action in small but substantial doses. It's adorable, tender, and funny. It hooks you in from the start.
- Rob Logan | The Geek GenerationJanuary 14, 2025Delightful and charming. Serves as a witty and heartfelt commentary on aging while borrowing many tropes from action movies and scaling them down to match the protagonist. Also a fantastic final performance from Richard Roundtree.
- Tyler SMarch 12, 2025👍👍 8/10
- dascomputers13March 6, 2025Great movie about ageism. Some wit. The sub plots add something to the movie, but very little. The two main golden stars work so well with each other. Good to watch at least once. A must watch for nurses and care gives.
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025It's not really ever laugh out loud funny but more smirk inducing, but the type of smirk where you feel like you're smirking out of pity rather than genuine amusement. The grandson looks like a stoner but sounds like a extra reading from a teleprompter. The best thing Thelma has going for it is that it's kind of cute but unlike say Little Miss Sunshine it never crosses over into anything substantial or memorable.
- stevenjp90January 22, 2025Would of only been a 3 but as its based on true events it earns that extra star. Watched it in 2 halves just couldn't get into it, had some funny bits in there but all in all it was OK.
