Thelma (15)

Drama, Mystery, Romance

A woman begins to fall in love, only to discover that she has fantastic powers.

The critical consensus

Beguiling, expertly-crafted slice of Scandinavian psycho-noir.

****(*)Nikki Baughan, The List, 30/10/2017

Intriguing and well-made, but also but trying and inhuman.

***(*)(*)Sophie Monks Kaufman, Little White Lies, 01/11/2017

The director is trying to have it both ways – to combine shock tactics and ideas from exploitation movies with subtle and nuanced characterisation. The result is a film that, for all its moments of brilliance, doesn’t satisfy on either level.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 02/11/2017

It all hangs together — and what a very formidable performance from Harboe.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 02/11/2017

Thelma founders on unconvincing plot developments despite its early promise.

**(*)(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 02/11/2017

It is beautifully photographed, well-acted and keeps you guessing.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 03/11/2017

This horror-tinged coming-of-age tale is given a fevered, magical realist slant by Norwegian director Joachim Trier.

****(*)Simran Hans, The Observer, 05/11/2017
