Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

arunsrid I like films which are open-ended where there are unexplained events and the viewers are left to conclude who was right and who was wrong. I also love films where the protagonist is a bit confused, cannot take decisions easily, quiet, etc, cause I relate to those kind of characters the most. Thelma falls into both these categories and was a wonderful film to watch. I was earlier watching an Hungarian film called On Body and Soul, and while reading the reviews for that film in some website, I was recommended Thelma. I must say I'm glad I watched Thelma (thrice actually). Each time I saw this film, it threw different perspectives at me, and I connected with different people on each viewing. This film is definitely to be seen multiple times for a deeper understanding. I'm giving a 10 for the completely different experience and fascinating screenplay. This is my kinda film.

willharveysf I really like bed this movie. It's a slow burn and very subtle in its horrors. But there are images I can't shake a week after seeing it (snakes, babies under ice, hair caught in the middle of a pane of glass). I think a lot of people misunderstand this film. My take, for what's its worth is that this is an art house version of Carrie. Telekinetic powers are unleashed with the sexual awakening of the main character, Thelma (that's pretty obvious). These are initially confusing and terrifying for her and she's horrified that she could possibly have made her same sex love interest, Anna, disappear into the nether. She goes to a neurologist to try and figure out why she's having seizures resulting in horrifying consequences. She ultimately turns to her fundamental Christian parents in her despair who explain to her she's always had these powers and that she killed her baby brother when she became either sick of his crying or because of jealousy over her parent's attention to him. Here's the part I think people miss. She kills her father before he kills her (he draws up a syringe for the act but ultimately puts it aside) in a quesrionably purposeful way. She then brings Anna back and heads back to Oslo/college fully aware of and in control of her powers, only slowing to heal her mother in the process (the mother is a paraplegic probably because of a suicidal jump from a bridge, years earlier, that didn't kill her). Anja probably isn't in love with Thelma, she is just being controlled by her. The ending isn't as happy as most here seem to perceive it to be. We know this because Thelma dreams/wants Anja to kiss her neck and then, moments later, Anja shows up to do so in the exact way as Thelma had just fantasized it. Anja is being controlled by Thelma and has no free will as this point whether she realizes it or not. Thelma seems to know her powers and how to use them finally (she isn't evil, per se, however) and isn't afraid to use them.Watch out ladies, you're not going to know what hits you when Thelma takes a liking.

Zorica Well, I certainly didn't have an intention to watch this film as it looked like a horror/erotic movie from description and trailers, but in the end the positive reviews won, and so, I must admit that it hasn't been in vain. The photography is awesome and storytelling is good, although I feel there was a vast space needing to be filled with more substance but instead the film's tended toward more mystery, and less toward casting light over the right questions. The most profound thing for me were the parents' actions. The comparison to other cases in the past wrongfully labeled or the insight to the epilepsy or epilepsy-like symptoms were a great parallel and insights in the others' struggles. It totally gives another perspective in the matter. This movie is the reason why I'm watching everything I can get my hands on next from the director Trier. (I saw that he's related to the big Lars). Maybe it's not fair to make comparisons between both, but I felt a lot of similar energy to this product, as with other works of Lars.

NEON POLTERGEIST Thelma Starts very Subtle and powerful, Ewoking that dark tone of Carrie, Firestarter or that 1 minute scene with rogue kissing a boy for the first time. when thelmas uncontrollable powers start shaking It has a more realistic impact on the viewer because of the tempo and scene of the movie. Something missed from every CGI superhero drivel today that makes haste skipping that coming of age story. All Is well Til Its final Act. But then the director makes the biggest mistake and loose focus on the credability. Thelmas powers seems to have endless possibilities and are never really explained except she has the powers of Jesus. She can make people disappear and reapear and her dreams becomes reality. she also have the same kind of telekenetic firestarter power and can make things move. And she can travel between planes. The problem for me with this Is that all mystery and suspense Is lost cause of her enormous powers. All she needs to do is to wish people away. So not even superman would stand a chance really. Her tragic story also abruptly ends there. she kills her family and that,s the weird ending. There,s some good scenes throughout and are definetly a movie worth seeing one time, but won,t end up on my end of the year list. The soundtrack Is also very bad, We have one great song from agnes but Its an old tune and heard so many times before this movies release so theres really not much here for me to find
