Thelma (2024 Josh Margolin & scr, ed)

Something of a tall story from Margolin, and dedicated to his own grandmother, who appears briefly at the end. The film was exec produced by stars June Squibb and Fred Hechinger. Captures rather well the feelings of the elderly, not wanting to be ordered about but aware that they aren't able to do the things they used to, and that friends are passing fast. Scammed grandmother goes after scammers who have deprived her of $10,000, aided by friend Richard Roundtree (his last film).

With Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, Malcolm McDowell.

The film is meditative, tender and entertaining.

On guns: "How hard can it be? Idiots use them all the time."
