Qualicum Beach Cinema Society & Tiff Film Circuit presents

Thelma

starring June Squibb, Richard Roundtree and Parker Posey

Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin's own grandmother, THELMA puts a clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. With infectious humor, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business -- despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), or grandson Danny might believe.

Directed by Josh Margolin and starring June Squibb, Richard Roundtree, Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, Fred Hechinger and Malcolm McDowell.

PG-13; 1 hr 37 mins. 98% and 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.
