Thelma (2017) is a unique, bold, coming-of-age, slow-burn, supernatural thriller which retains its gravitas throughout its runtime and leaves a gnawing impact. The story revolves around a sexually repressed teenager who discovers her latent telekinetic abilities as a bizarre firestarter. The cinematography is laudable. The treatment is lonely and gloomy to a strange degree which makes it more of an indie-supernatural thriller rather than a mainstream movie. It manages to skip jump-scares and depends largely on characterization, acting, and emotional impact. If you have a hankering for quirky supernatural flicks with moody undertones, this is your movie.
