June Squibb, who did most of her own stunts, plays Thelma Post, a feisty 93 year-old grandmother who is conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (Fred Hechinger), and sets out on a treacherous quest, accompanied by an aging friend (Richard Rowntree) and his motorised scooter, to reclaim what was taken from her.

“Squibb’s charm, her gutsiness, and her sharp, subtle humour fill the movie with warmth and veracity. May we all age like her.” Austin Chronicle

“Thelma is slickly made, real-life grandmother sweet, overall warm and winsome. It’s likely to draw laughs if you’ve ever coached someone on how to use a computer, tears if you’ve ever loved an elderly person who held tightly to their dignity. And Squibb is as understatedly funny and commanding as you’d expect.” The Guardian
