    June Squibb doesn’t need Jason Statham to do her character’s dirty work on screen. At 94 years old, she can take care of it herself and get the classic walk-away-from-an-explosion scene. It’s glorious.

    In Thelma, Squibb plays the titular Thelma, a 90-something-year-old who gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson. She hands over ten grand and soon realizes what’s going on. Rather than take the loss, Thelma takes matters into her own hands and goes on an adventure with her longtime friend (Richard Roundtree) to retrieve what’s hers.
