I just saw Thelma this weekend and June Squibb is such a treasure (plus there’s an added bonus in an awesome performance from the late great Richard Roundtree). It’s not as much a comedy as I was expecting – there are some serious (but not overwrought) moments about getting older and being overlooked because you’re old – but I do love that so many of the sequences were shot like an action movie (fitting since the title character Thelma takes her inspiration from Tom Cruise in the Mission Impossible films).
