THELMA on romanttinen jännityselokuva nuoresta naisesta, joka huomaa kohdatessaan rakkauden omaavansa pelottavia ja selittämättömiä voimia. Thelma on muuttanut uskonnollisesta lapsuudenkodistaan läntisessä Norjassa Osloon aloittaakseen opinnot, kun hän saa voimakkaan sairauskohtauksen luennolla, ja jättää kertomatta asiasta vanhemmilleen. Samalla hän tapaa opiskelijakollega Anjan, johon hän tuntee mystistä yhteenkuuluvuutta. Tunteet, joita Thelma ei tohdi tunnustaa, ottavat hänestä vallan, ja kohtaukset palaavat rajumpina ja useammin, vailla selitystä. Pelottavat, yliluonnolliset voimat vyöryvät esiin, ja eräänä päivänä Anja katoaa jäljettömiin… (SF Studios Fin.)

With its typically gloomy Scandinavian feel, Thelma is a fragile drama about the loneliness of an adolescent in the
depressing constraints of religious thinking, perfectly blended with a supernatural thriller with elements of horror and a
pained heart throbbing with desire for fulfillment of the first, “forbidden” love. A wonderful, brilliantly directed story
and probably the European film of the year. [Sitges FF]

Towards the end of the year, a disturbing item from Norway. Thelma, a strong believer so far unbowed by anything, gradually begins to taste the sins of high school life and falls in love with a girl, but strange and inexplicable things start happening around her. It sounds like a short story by Stephen King, something like Carrie, but the film hits more on psychology than pure horror, though a couple of scenes are definitely worth it (the ones with the baby and the spontaneous combustion on the boat). I was a bit disappointed by the open ending, which I'm not a big fan of, but otherwise undoubtedly a quality affair with a social subtext. Well made with intelligent dialogue, atmospheric, gloomy and with a lesbian touch. I enjoyed it. 80%.

This was a really weird film about weird people. The filmmakers apparently had some special powers, too, because they managed to make me enjoy it, even though the plot seemed to be dragging a bit at times. Only now I'm not so sure of that. What I do know is that I enjoyed the strange dark atmosphere combined with distinctive editing. I couldn't really switch off my brain, which usually isn’t a problem for me.

Just when I thought the film was putting me to sleep, that it had moments that weren't very entertaining, it suddenly showed me a scene that managed to wake me up again. Thelma has elements that are a bit unexpected at first glance, but on second glance they are elements that definitely work in the overall concept of the film.

Joachim Trier served audiences a chillingly Nordic psychological thriller bordering on horror, lightly seasoned with lesbian eroticism. It's a very crazy combination, but it works quite well in the end. The atmosphere grabbed me like crazy and I willingly let myself be swept away, even slightly scared by the not-very-believable story, whose main character, convincingly portrayed by Eili Harboe, I wouldn't want as a friend, to be honest.
