Thelma (2024)

"The action movie you need this summer."

"The tone... is exquisitely well-judged, offsetting deeply felt melancholy with wry humour."

"June Squibb is a total delight."

"Its light shines in myriad little character beats."

"Early on... the movie feels like a single running joke, albeit one cracked with panache. But it has sturdier legs than you might expect."

"June Squibb excels as a pensioner ​on a mission... in this ​c​harming if formulaic caper."

"This action-comedy leaves room for plenty of nuance about aging and autonomy."

"Squibb's charm, her gutsiness, and her sharp, subtle humour fill the movie with warmth and veracity."

"Screen legend June Squibb gets (her) long-overdue Mission: Impossible moment in (this) delightful comedy."

"(The film) has a canny sense of timing, and comic tone, which accommodates the serious matters as they arise."

"A perfect showcase for the delightfully wry Squibb, whose character constantly reminds us that you’re never too old to try something new."

"On paper, (it) may sound unbearably twee... (but it's) buoyed by a consistently funny script, real pathos and stellar comic performances."

"June Squibb is finally a star at 94 – but this reductive role doesn’t do her justice."

"June Squibb deserves a better star vehicle."

"A young filmmaker’s touching and funny tribute to the olds."

"At 94, screen veteran June Squibb gets her first leading role and carries the movie with style."

"June Squibb proves it’s never too late to be the hero of your own story."

"This is ultimately Squibb’s show and she delivers, like she always does. She should have been leading pictures the whole time."
