Baby & Carer/ Thelma

Directed by Josh Margolin

This is a Baby & Carer Screening and is designed ONLY for parents, grandparents and carers attending with babies aged 12 months and under. More information on our Baby & Carer Screenings can be found online.

When 93-year-old Thelma Post gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.

Filmmaker Josh Margolin taps into the real-life experiences of his own grandmother for this comedy about an unlikely action hero. Veteran character actor June Squibb delivers her first leading film role as the indefatigable Thelma, while blaxploitation icon Richard Roundtree makes his final screen appearance as her partner in crime-fighting, Ben. 

 

Thelma also screens on general release from Fri 19 Jul
