Review of Thelma (2017) by Sean P — 26 Dec 2017
A wonderful, precise, slow and beautifully composed movie in every way. There is time here for the tensions generated by the danger of desire to build. Shockingly refreshing genre-busting dirty formalism with much hidden pleasure.
A great film about going to college and having one's family-inducted beliefs contested by experience. Brilliantly played and shot through with the grit of everyday details, exceptional sound design and a tense script deliver a visceral granular filmic engagement.
Metaphorical spoiler alert - - kill your dad, heal your mom and free yourself.
