  gorgeous, powerful, cathartic, romantic, enthralling, brilliant, otherworldly. a quiet and beautiful storm that rages on while the rest of the world will most likely have it’s eyes fixated on other films, not needing anyone’s attention or love or approval. the most profound superhero portrayed on film since donnie darko

  This is my spoiler review of Thelma, click here for my spoiler-free review.

  My thoughts are too scattered so this is a list:

  - I loved how Thelma's powers are never portrayed as wrong in the movie. Sure, she does terrible things, but mainly when she's a child and/or asleep, so when it's completely out of her control. Other than that, the movie tries really hard to link Thelma's powers to nature (the animal imageries, the focus on the trees and Norwegian landscape, the fact that she inherited that from her grandmother (there's also an interesting idea of it being a female power, as her grandmother has it but not her dad, and when she looks up her condition on…
