THELMA-- An OPENING NIGHT FEATURE
Rated: PG-13; 97 minutes in English Directed by: Josh Margolin
Starring: June Squibb, Fred Hechinger, Richard Roundtree
Inspired by a real-life experience of the director’s own grandmother and starring June Squibb in her first leading role, Thelma follows a 93-year-old woman who gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson. What follows is a treacherous but hilarious quest to reclaim what was stolen from her and regain her dignity and
independence in the process. Thelma demonstrates that she is more than capable of taking care of business -- despite what her daughter or grandson might believe.
