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
“why can’t i just be myself? why isn’t that possible?”

if infinity wars actually wanted to be the most ambitious crossover then they should’ve let my girl thelma be one of the avengers 🙄

AFI 2017: film #2
in my heart this very much feels like the best movie i’ve seen so far this year. it had so many concepts that i thought would overwhelm or disappoint me, but instead i was so completely immersed that by the end i was shaking slightly from the aftermath. there’s a lot to unpack here and a lot i could say, but if i get into it more it’ll be after i see it again (which should hopefully be this week)

This movie has everything - dimension traveling lesbians, religious overtones, and a surprise cameo by Voldemort’s favorite horcrux, Nagini. It delivered on high expectations.

"Lord, save me from these thoughts..."
The script was solid and the cinematography was very nice. The acting was great, especially Eili Harboe as the titular character. She gave a really captivating performance. She's also a very pretty crier.

This was slow. Like really slow, and really boring. I'm all for a slow-burn film, as long as there's a worthwhile payoff at the end.
Unfortunately, Thelma is anything but satisfying.
I understand the implied drama here. I understand that the vast majority of Christianity considers homosexuality a sin and vilifies it. However, that is never shown in this film. Thelma (Eili Harboe) is conflicted, hating herself and trying to erase her feelings towards Anja (Kaya Wilkins). For what? Not one single person in this film says anything to make her feel this way.
Thelma is a good looking film with beautiful cinematography and excellent performances. It's a shame that so little actually happens to make it all worthwhile.
