Anchored by Harboe's deft performance, one that channels both a teenager's aloofness and frustrations while managing to find the maturity to reckon with her new reality, the film is at turns tense and menacing. May 28, 2019 | Full Review…

Trier (and his co-writer Eskil Vogt) thoroughly and skillfully align supernatural powers with queer discovery (particularly that of a young woman) in unexpected ways and do so without ruining the film with male-gaze shots. January 16, 2019 | Full Review…

Both a psychological thriller and a supernatural horror, at first glance much in "Thelma" sounds familiar - a teenage girl, extreme religiosity, sex, inexplicably smashing windows, a snake - but they never feel like tropes. January 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
