Thelma is visually and sonically impressive, with images that linger in the mind long after the film has ended, but a superfluous narrative detour strips the film of any uniqueness.

The scary moments are there, but they take patience. And then they take you by surprise.

"Thelma" treads the line between the psychological and supernatural, gracefully at first, and then with increasing abandon.

A romance with touches of horror throughout that never veer into anything gratuitous, but are still incredibly effective. In fact, it’s this grounded style that makes Thelma such a great film.
