The Sundance charmer “Thelma,” starring June Squibb and Richard Roundtree, will make its way to theaters June 21, Magnolia Pictures announced Tuesday.
Written and directed by Josh Margolin, the film follows the titular character, played by Squibb, as she attempts to get back a large sum of money lost by her in an telephone scam. With the help of a friend, played by the late Roundtree, Thelma traverses the streets of Los Angeles to get what’s hers. Hot on her trail is her anxious grandson (Fred Hechinger), daughter (Parker Posey) and son-in-law (Clark Gregg).
This marks the first starring role for Squibb who was nominated for an Academy Award in 2014 for Best Supporting Actress for the Alexander Payne-directed feature “Nebraska.”
