Review of Thelma

Thelma (2017)
9/10
Took me by surprise
15 September 2021
Nordic cinema never misses, and this movie is solid proof of that. The style of shooting, the pacing and the editing really keeps the audience questioning the direction it's going in. I personally enjoyed the suspense of not fully knowing the genre of this movie, til the big reveal. I can't really fault this movie except one thing - the ending. I felt it was quite rushed, some movies like to leave you still questioning at the end but this one left a lot of big questions, questions that I felt a 2 hour movie could have explained. Would have been 10 stars from me if it wasn't for that, but other than that, thoroughly enjoyed experiencing a different type of movie you don't usually see in mainstream media. Main highlights: thought provoking, the scores, great acting from both leads but mainly Kaya seeing as it was her first project and lastly, the lake scene.
