End the festival on a high note, with the CUFF Closing Night Film THELMA! After watching this with an audience, you are guaranteed to walk out of CUFF 2024 with a smile on your face! ABOUT THE FILM
When 93-year-old Thelma Post 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. A story exploring aging, family, and autonomy (and uniquely inspired by action movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE) – THELMA is based on a real-life experience of writer/director Josh Margolin’s grandmother, and marks June Squibb’s first leading film role of her 70+ year career. Squibb, who did most of her own stunts, plays the feisty grandmother who demonstrates that she is more than capable of taking care of business – despite what her family might believe. The poignant action-comedy is rounded out with an A-list cast including Fred Hechinger (THE WHITE LOTUS), Parker Posey (DAZED AND CONFUSED), Clark Gregg (Phil Coulson in various Marvel movies), and the final performance of trailblazing actor Richard Roundtree (SHAFT).
