Thelma REVIEW: Beautifully photographed and well-acted
Norwegian director Joachim Trier makes an unexpected move into Stephen King territory with Thelma, a stately but always intriguing supernatural tale that owes a lot to King’s classic novel Carrie.
Thelma (Eili Harboe) has left her rural family home to attend university in Oslo and makes a friend in the beautiful Anja (Kaya Wilkins).
But when their affection threatens to develop into romance, it challenges Thelma’s strict Christian upbringing.
It also coincides with Thelma having a series of epileptic seizures and seeming to develop telekinetic powers.
It is beautifully photographed, well-acted and keeps you guessing.
