I really can't say enough about Thelma. It was as humorous as it was poignant. The movie didn't spell out the all the complex themes it conveyed, just showed. It's the first movie I've watched in a long time that felt important.
June Squibb is already 94 years old and has been in the entertainment industry (mainly Broadway theater and movie) for 7 decades and it's kinda sad how she doesn't get enough credit for her work. The last major work that she had done that recieved huge acclaim was in Alexander Payne's Nebraska which gain her first ever Oscar nomination. I wish people would recognise her even more, she's absolutely delightful to watch on screen. It's a little bit shocking how "Thelma" is her very first leading role in her long decade career
That’s a silly question. I do, if you hadn’t noticed the username. And as Chris even mentions the Oscars in this very video, I’m assuming he also thinks it would be cool to see June nominated.
My Grandma almost got scammed out of 400 dollars last year but thankfully she was able to stop herself from sending it. I think this movie can relate to a lot of people and hopefully Gram and I can see it together.
Just saw this for my birthday a few weeks after getting back from my grandmother's funeral. Such a whiplash of emotions, cackling at one scene only to be brought to tears five seconds later. So good.
She reminded me so much of my grandma it hit me in the heartstrings. She laughed like her at one point and it was so bittersweet. I’m gonna drag my parents to see it with me
ONLY ONE CRITIC listed on RT didn't like this film, evidently because the protagonist is an elderly woman who he contends cannot be the focus of a "silly fantasy where she's "doing dumb action stuff." Since those stories have been a staple of Hollywood for just about forever, I guess if she were middle-aged or younger, it'd be worthwhile. A dumb review any way you slice it by SEAN BURNS.
I was on vacation in Orlando and the AMC at Disney Springs was doing a screening of an upcoming movie but didn’t reveal what it was. I was very confused and surprised when the movie turned out to be Thelma but the movie is genuinely so sweet, funny, and well done across the board. Highly recommend this one!
“I had that feeling where I realized there really are still great new ideas…”. Thank you Chris. You give us all hope that really great movies can still be made.
I went to see this with a friend tonight who had never heard of this film and we both absolutely loved it. We both agree that it might be our favorite of the year so far.
I really hope people go see and support this movie, we don't get much movies like this anymore atleast not in theaters, very much reminds me of 90s or even early 2000s kind of movies
My Grandma nearly got scammed once. Phone scammers, especially those who go after the elderly, are some of the most evil people out there. I have such a deep hatred for them so I hope the guy really gets what's coming to him in the movie.
I saw this this weekend and it was just so delightful. I also laughed tons of times. Made me think about how all the elderly feel in my life and made me want to treat them with more agency
I saw this movie in my theater, and I was the only young guy there because the audience was mostly elderly (which was like 3-4 couples in my theater). This movie had me laughing. I do recommend this movie, whether you're young or old. You'll understand all the struggles.
Saw this movie and it made me laugh harder than any film I have seen in theaters in a while. The audience I was with laughed throughout the film too which I don’t see happen to often. A big gem of a movie.
June was an inspirational delight to watch. She played her character with grit and gusto, but showed softness and vulnerability in equal measure, which made her character much more multidimensional and real. I wish though that the pacing of the film had more pep. I started looking at my watch during the slower, dialogue driven scenes.
I loved it, I'm 40 with sudden knee pain that came out of nowhere that makes me limp unless I warm up first before taking a step or dare wear my heels and this movie made wonder how will I end up when I reach the golden age. Loved the action in it, we all can relate with our grandparents and their struggles with technology...we'll be the same too, because the technology we know now will be obsolete in 30-40yrs from now.
I got to see this movie at sundance and it was amazing. I took my grandma to see it opening night and it was such a fun experience. Remember to reach out and hangout with your grandma when you can!!
Some funny parts, but also some parts that reminded me of my Mom who has passed away. While we like to think Seniors are active, they are not always and the fragility in the movie is definitely true. The grandson saying he would miss Thelma when she dies made me tear up and hit close to home. Not a bad movie, but not great either.
Thelma was the first original movie I've seen in ages. It was a JOY. How nice that it wasn't a prequel or sequel and didn't star some 30 something guy. GO SEE THIS MOVIE
I noticed a poster for this at the theater this past weekend when I was there to see the Ghost Rite Here Rite Now event and was curious, I hadn't heard of it previously. You've genuinely convinced me to want to go see it.
On one hand, June Squibb was great. On the other hand, I kinda wish the 94 years old lady was played by Jason Statham and that this happened in the Beekeeper universe.
This looks fantastic. Thanks for the review! For a another movie featuring a Senior Lead, I highly recommend the films Lucky Grandma, and Robot and Frank.
Loved the movie; just one complaint. *WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW* … . . . . . Even if we ignore the whole “find my iPhone” technology unaddressed in this film, Thelma inadvertently posted something to Instagram while she was out and about. Why didn’t her family try calling her cell phone during all this? I mean, I know, the watch served as a narrative device and all, but…gaaaaahhhhh i loved this movie but can’t ignore this plot hole unless i actually missed something
June Squibb is old and cute. That's why we like this movie. But the acting by the dad, mom and son is quite cringey to be honest. But they were given a cringey script I guess.
This might be a hot take but I honestly didn’t like it. The grandson and parents were very one dimensional characters and it felt like the movie couldn’t decide if it was an action/comedy or a poignant story about growing old. Not particularly funny and not particularly moving altogether

Vanilla Sky plz, thx
that hoodie is awesome!
These reviews suck. Not everything is a banger Chris.
Judging from your movie reviews I wouldn't watch anything directed by you either.
June Squibb is 94 playing a 93 year old.
They always cast older to play younger, lol
The industry these days smh
😂😂
Should have gone with July Muggle
XDDD
This astute comment made me laugh! Well done.

Chat gpt ass comment
Man, now I do wanna see more of her work cause you're right, she needs herself an Oscar or a mention after this movie and all past work she's done.
Oscars 😂😂😂 get fucked
Squibb was also Nostalgia in Inside Out 2.... What a talent.
Wooooow I did not know that
Thelma has been one of the best surprises of the year for me, and I would absolutely love if June Squibb got an Oscar nomination for her role!
Who gives two shits about the oscars
That’s a silly question.
I do, if you hadn’t noticed the username. And as Chris even mentions the Oscars in this very video, I’m assuming he also thinks it would be cool to see June nominated.

I used to call my Grama “Gram” too 🥰
Just saw this for my birthday a few weeks after getting back from my grandmother's funeral. Such a whiplash of emotions, cackling at one scene only to be brought to tears five seconds later. So good.
Looking at the title, I legitimately thought this was a "Thelma & Louise" spin off movie focusing on Thelma herself 😂
"Somehow, Thelma returned."
I thought it was the Joachim Trier movie. I recommend it.
Looking at the poster and the horn looking thing, I was wondering what it had to do with Thelma the Unicorn.
It's not??
These scammers are horrible. I hope this film brings more awareness - especially to older people who are the scammer's favorite target.
I'm 73 and it recently happened to me 😢 0:49
@@BarbCole-lf8boI’m so sorry Barb 🤗

I loved this movie. It was an AMC screen unseen (mystery movie) and I was delighted it was Thelma.
I wish this was released in the fall so it could have a better chance at awards for Squibb and Roundtree

When you look at his reviews he dislikes almost everything... but he gave a positive review to Jason Stathams Beekeper LOL.

I was very confused and surprised when the movie turned out to be Thelma but the movie is genuinely so sweet, funny, and well done across the board. Highly recommend this one!
im glad movies like this still get made. gonna see it soon.
Driving Miss Daisy 2, Daisy don't take no shit.
“I had that feeling where I realized there really are still great new ideas…”. Thank you Chris. You give us all hope that really great movies can still be made.
This movie basically sounds like The Beekeeper but if Jason Stathum was replaced by a 90+-year old woman, and so I’m immediately sold from that alone.
And without the ultra violence and action as that movie.
I went to see this with a friend tonight who had never heard of this film and we both absolutely loved it. We both agree that it might be our favorite of the year so far.
this is literally one of the best flicks of the year.
It was such an unexpectedly funny, relatable and memorable movie. Highly recommended for all ages.
I was so lucky to meet her at the sf festival for the qna. The movie was so fun watching with an audience.
I hope this got released in my country somehow. Looks like a good one to watch with my mom. We're in constant war with call center scammers.
Outstanding movie. One of my favorites of the year so far.
So happy that you reviewed this movie Chris. I saw it over the weekend and it reminded me so much of my grandmother. Needs more attention for sure.
I used my last AMC A-List ticket for this week, and it was worth it. The movie was delightful, and I adored June Squibb in this role.
Mike with Red Letter Media would love this film.
I really hope people go see and support this movie, we don't get much movies like this anymore atleast not in theaters, very much reminds me of 90s or even early 2000s kind of movies
It’s such a good movie. Made my heart hurt a lot, with my grandmother having some of the same feelings, it was surprisingly sad.
My Grandma nearly got scammed once. Phone scammers, especially those who go after the elderly, are some of the most evil people out there. I have such a deep hatred for them so I hope the guy really gets what's coming to him in the movie.
Chris truly is the King of t-shirts
When she slipped on the stairs...felt that.
Me too
I saw this this weekend and it was just so delightful. I also laughed tons of times. Made me think about how all the elderly feel in my life and made me want to treat them with more agency
People are gonna sleep on this movie, understandably. But it was so good - terrific cast
This reminds me of my grandmother even though she never got caught by a phishing scam.
could you say potential another tons of nomination next award season
It's my favorite of 2024 so far (out of only 7 movies watched but still!). It's light and full of laughs
I watched this as an AMC unseen movie earlier this month. It’s quite an enjoyable film.
One of my favorites of the year. Also, PLEASE watch and review Hundreds of Beavers!
I saw this movie in my theater, and I was the only young guy there because the audience was mostly elderly (which was like 3-4 couples in my theater). This movie had me laughing. I do recommend this movie, whether you're young or old. You'll understand all the struggles.

The Beekeeper, but slightly more realistic. I'm pretty excited about this movie.
I loved it, I'm 40 with sudden knee pain that came out of nowhere that makes me limp unless I warm up first before taking a step or dare wear my heels and this movie made wonder how will I end up when I reach the golden age.

Thank you for this review. I didn't know about it, but I will now look for it to watch.
Saw it last week and absolutely loved it.

Saw this over the weekend. Total blast and one to remember!
saw it yesterday and loved it. posting my own review later tonight
Ya think with what we've been though collectively the past 4 years... people would value eachother differently.
And here I thought this was going to be a throwback review of the excellent 2017 Norwegian film Thelma...
Bless both women, truly inspiring!
Thank you for bringing attention to this movie, it was so feel good and clever!
Bro put a review on kalki 2898 ad i heard it’s a next level movie
On one hand, June Squibb was great. On the other hand, I kinda wish the 94 years old lady was played by Jason Statham and that this happened in the Beekeeper universe.
You need to review a quiet place day one!!!!! I MUST KNOW ARE WE IN THE SAME BOAT HERE 🥴😂
This looks fantastic. Thanks for the review! For a another movie featuring a Senior Lead, I highly recommend the films Lucky Grandma, and Robot and Frank.
I just saw this movie last Monday and it's a good movie.
Just saw it today and I loved it.
Solid movie but not 99% on Rotten Tomatoes great in my opinion. The last act was awesome though
Everyone liked it why shouldn't it have a good Rotten Tomatoes score
I don’t think you understand how Rotten Tomatoes works. Are you saying 99% of the critics who saw the movie shouldn’t like it?
With a few tweaks to the script, this could have been a rollicking parody/comedy of The Beekeeper
Loved the movie; just one complaint.

Thank @ Chris! I want to see it!
I love when movies like this are made!
This movie left me in tears 😭

The ticket is sold!
Can't wait for your Acolyte review
This is taking a a different spin on the geezer teaser. 😛
Remember when Chris reviewed Thelma? Those were the days
chris grew up with thelma

This year's Holdovers, i hope she gets an oscar nom again!!
Can you please do Long Legs? Others have vids up but you are the only one I trust to not spoil anything.
Chris is seriously not watching The Bikeriders? I already watched it twice
Roundtree was a true legend. Shaft was one bad muther
I thought he was reviewing Velma oh god

I knew i would like this movie since i saw the trailer 👏

Chris grew up with Parker Posey
Still a dime
Thank you for the review.
I will definitely go see this movie- I laughed out loud while listening to your review 🇨🇦
The grandson was a good dude and also annoyed me, never seen anything quite like it.
Good movie.
I want the revue of the movie.
June Squibb is old and cute. That's why we like this movie. But the acting by the dad, mom and son is quite cringey to be honest. But they were given a cringey script I guess.
I am really looking forward to seeing this film! ❤
Every Stuckmann review after two minutes of sponsors: "i laffed SO HARD"
Where's the Goodfellas (1990) review?😊
Love this movie. Saw it Monday
Chris your behind in Amoy of movies reviews 😅😮 what’s happening??
This might be a hot take but I honestly didn’t like it. The grandson and parents were very one dimensional characters and it felt like the movie couldn’t decide if it was an action/comedy or a poignant story about growing old. Not particularly funny and not particularly moving altogether
It’s utterly bad-Wait you meant THELMA
agree 100%
Thelma and Louise 👍🎬🎥 Great movie 😂 Greetings from the Netherlands
