Burntwood Afternoon Cinema - Thelma

Prepare to be charmed and delighted by Thelma, a heartwarming and hilarious new film that celebrates the indomitable spirit of our elders. Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Josh Margolin, this touching tribute to his own beloved grandmother is a must-see for anyone who has ever cherished the special bond between grandparent and grandchild.

June Squibb shines in the title role, bringing decades of acting experience to her portrayal of the fiercely independent 93-year-old Thelma. When a telephone scam threatens to take away her hard-earned savings, Thelma teams up with her affable 24-year-old grandson Daniel to get her money back - in a series of daring exploits that will have you cheering her on. With its winning mix of humor, poignancy, and a touch of "Mission: Impossible" style action, "Thelma" is a delightful reminder that age is no barrier to living life to the fullest. Don't miss this uplifting celebration of the strength, resilience, and mischievous streak that define the Greatest Generation.
