This looks great. While I knew June Squibb and Richard Roundtree were in it, I didn't realize it also featured Parker Posey and Clark Gregg. Bonus!

It’s a good cast! I didn’t even mention who the scammer is — another great actor!

You're like me -- I almost never read reviews until after I've seen the movie. Which is a little strange given that I write them!

I have a confession. I’m notorious for reading spoilers and knowing everything I can about a film or show ahead of time. Very impatient and curious. However this one I want to experience with as little knowledge going in beyond the teaser. Every now and then I try and be good, if this makes sense and practice the skill!

I'll read spoilers for movies if I figure I probably won't ever watch them. For some reason, I feel compelled to find out what happens in horror movies even if I know I won't see them! (And I think that is a good policy with Thelma.)

Every actor was incredible in this. It was such a poignant and heartfelt (and yet still hilarious) look at families and advanced age. The notion of Thelma and her friend Bob becoming liabilities and seeing inside Mona’s home with the roaches. Squibb and The White Lotus actor that plays her grandson were both producers. So good!!!
