94 year-old June Squibb was nominated for an Oscar for playing 93 year-old Thelma Post. When Thelma gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her. Inspired by the Director’s own grandmother’s experience, Thelma is laugh out loud funny and proves that getting old doesn’t mean we have to lose our spunk.
