Thelma – Dementia Friendly
Tewkesbury

An elderly grandmother becomes an unlikely action hero when she takes matters into her own hands after falling victim to a telephone scam.

Putting a clever spin on the Hollywood revenge movie, this crowd-pleasing crime caper it employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways. 94-year-old June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business – despite what her family might believe.
