Thelma movie storyline. Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother, Thelma puts a clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero.
With infectious humor, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business — despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), or grandson Danny might believe.
Thelma is a 2024 American comedy film written and directed by Josh Margolin, starring June Squibb, Fred Hechinger, Richard Roundtree, Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, and Malcolm McDowell. Thelma premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2024, and is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States by Magnolia Pictures on June 21, 2024.
