The geri-action movie Thelma lets 94-year-old June Squibb play the Tom Cruise game
- Thelma is an action-comedy movie featuring 94-year-old actress June Squibb in the lead role.
- The story is about a 92-year-old woman named Thelma who sets off with her friend on a quest to take back her money, which she lost to a scammer who pretended to be her grandson.
- The film director Josh Margolin dramatized his grandmother's story in the film, which he says is about the everyday heroism of moving through the world as you get older and smaller problems present more danger.
- The movie features non-traditional actors, including the late Richard Roundtree, who brilliantly perform high-stake heists, fistfights, and high-speed chases on scooters with hearing aids.
- Margolin brilliantly walks the line of laughing with the characters rather than poking fun at them, so they are the stars of a true action movie here, not the butt of a joke.
- Thelma is a hilarious action-comedy movie and one of the sweetest and funniest movies of the year.
- June Squibb owns the Tom Cruise mantle in the movie’s twist. She did as many stunts as she could herself, as she was a dancer who was doing Pilates pretty rigorously in the lead-up to the movie. She demonstrated a lot of physical power as a performer, and it was really cool to see her tap into that at this moment of her life.
- Thelma is now available for rent or purchase on Amazon, Apple TV, and other digital platforms.
