"Thelma" treads the line between the psychological and supernatural, gracefully at first, and then with increasing abandon. Dec 7, 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. Nov 30, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's chilly in Oslo, and in this movie; the better to sneak up on you quietly, like an unexpected shiver. Nov 29, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

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. Nov 29, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

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…

At once a haunting drama, a delicate love story, and a supernatural horror film, Thelma is a captivating picture that burns slow and leaves a lasting mark when pressed. May 4, 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. Jan 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. Jan 4, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
