Thelma is visually and sonically impressive, with images that linger in the mind long after the film has ended, but a superfluous narrative detour strips the film of any uniqueness.

The scary moments are there, but they take patience. And then they take you by surprise.
January 18, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
"Thelma" treads the line between the psychological and supernatural, gracefully at first, and then with increasing abandon.
December 7, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… -
Thelma is a beautiful and heartbreaking film that is an impressive addition to the coming-of-age story. A lady bird, indeed.
November 30, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… -
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.

Audience Reviews for Thelma
-
Dec 22, 2019A stylish, minimalistic, and effective thriller, Thelma isn't groundbreaking - apart from its LGBTQ representation (which is fantastic to see in this genre) - but it engages the viewer and tells a coherent story that sticks the landing in the end.Matthew S Super Reviewer

Feb 26, 2018Such 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.Philip P Super Reviewer

Jan 07, 2018Though 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.Carlos M Super Reviewer
