I just left the theater after seeing the new June Squibb film, "Thelma", and I walked to my car with a big smile on my face. Working with seniors daily and seeing how resilient some of them are and the stories they have to tell, made me enjoy this film even more. For June Squibb, starring in a film at age 93 (she is 94 now), was quite enjoyable. She held her own in "Nebraska" and received an Academy Award nomination for that role. She might get nominated again. Having been scammed by phone scammers who pretend to be her injured grandson, she gets swindled out of $10k. When she realizes her grandson is fine, she decides to go on a Tom Cruise: Mission Imposible quest, to find the culprits and retrieve her money. With the help of a friend, played by Richard Roundtree, in his last role, tags along from his nursing home with Thelma driving his scooter, heading into unsafe territory to find the culprits. It's a journey and I recommend everyone to go along for the ride. To reveal anymore would give away too much. The movie is tender, sincere and at times outright hilarious. And it's based on a true story. The supporting cast is good and believable. Some of the story and actions are a bit far fetched but the film is worth seeing and has some good dialogue about aging and not taking life for granted!
