This film is being presented as part of the Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library's Wednesday Movie Club, a weekly showcase of movies that matter for people who love movies.  Attendees will be invited to discuss the film immediately following the screening. Registration is not required. 

Inspired by director Josh Margolin's real-life grandmother, THELMA puts a clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE by casting an elderly grandmother as the film's unlikely action hero. With infectious humor, Margolin employs familiar action movie tropes in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency. In the first leading film role of her 70-year acting career, June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business -- despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), or grandson Danny might believe.
