Critic Reviews for Thelma

The scary moments are there, but they take patience. And then they take you by surprise.
"Thelma" treads the line between the psychological and supernatural, gracefully at first, and then with increasing abandon.
A weirdly enthralling supernatural thriller.
As a hushed, haunting portrait of a young woman reconciling daughterly duty and her own incipient power, "Thelma" feels like a stylish, timely allegory for the present moment.
It's chilly in Oslo, and in this movie; the better to sneak up on you quietly, like an unexpected shiver.
Trier has found a new way to depict and talk about these emotions and experiences that most human beings know and can never really get over. His way is cold, deadpan, extreme, and very Scandinavian, and it's effective.
Audience Reviews for Thelma
Such small emotions. Such large repercussions. Part Carrie, part Moonlight. Thelma explores our deepest desires and the expectations of the world that don't often align. This is all tone and Norwegian director Joachim Trier nails exactly what he was seemingly aiming for.
Super Reviewer
Though it may seem at first like an unoriginal combination of Carrie and Blue Is the Warmest Color, Thelma is a haunting and sometimes pretty tense film centered on a young teenage girl from a strongly religious family struggling with her sexual impulses and desires.
