a fun mobility scooter revenge caper? I bet this is going to be hoot!




“Thelma”, an unlikely action-comedy starring June Squibb as a widow grandmother who becomes a phone scam victim

Thelma, a widow being looked after and checked in on by her slacker grandson, who is depressed at not being able to get anything like a proper job. 

When she is scammed out of $10,000 by a fraudster on the phone, tough Thelma sets out to track the bad guy down, riding a mobility scooter borrowed from her gentleman admirer – an excellent performance from the late Richard Roundtree(Shaft). Clark Gregg and Parker Posey are in it too! 



“Thelma” is already Magnolia’s highest-grossing narrative feature in the company’s 23-year history. Magnolia’s had no film gross more than $1 million since “Shoplifters” (2018/$3.3 million).
