Thelma (12A) (AD)

Relaxed Screening

,Cinema 3
An old lady drives a scooter down a hospital corridor.

At the tender age of 93, Thelma has accepted her role as a grandma and a widow. But after she is scammed out of $10,000, she kicks back into action, one mobility scooter stunt at a time... 

Like a latter day Mission Impossible, 93-year-old Thelma, a widowed grandmother living a somewhat satisfied suburban existence, dives into the action after she is robbed by a mysterious scammer posing as her grandson. 

Unwilling to accept the robbery laying down, Thelma brings her real grandson along for a treacherous journey across Los Angeles, with hilarity never too far round the corner. 

The mercurial June Squibb finally takes centre stage after a long supporting career, in this joyous and side-splitting action comedy.

Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, Nicole Byer, and Malcolm McDowell also star.
