From it's very first moments the movie captures attention with its amazing atmosphere, calm language, natural acting, and very thoughtful, methodical storytelling.The story develops slowly, but once it starts to unfold in full, you get the grasp of how much thought and detail was put into it.An unique experience that has it all beautifully woven together: the atmosphere, sublime effortless acting, a bit of mystery and horror, but primarily an interesting story surrounding a coming-of-age woman who has to realize what she is and find a way to live with that.

It is quite hard to tell what Thelma is about, I'm still not sure wether the movie is drama, thriller or fantasy but I have enjoyed all the way through while trying to get into the emotional world of the main character Thelma.The music and the cinematic experience are thrilling. The movie makes you ride towards a unique experience in cinema. This movie is enjoyable and thrilling from the beginning to the end.The movie talks about many things; family, love, youth, religion but those too many concepts somehow might lead the story to lack that punch to make the story brilliant and unforgettable. Do not miss this film, it's a great movie experience.

Well, I certainly didn't have an intention to watch this film as it looked like a horror/erotic movie from description and trailers, but in the end the positive reviews won, and so, I must admit that it hasn't been in vain. The photography is awesome and storytelling is good, although I feel there was a vast space needing to be filled with more substance but instead the film's tended toward more mystery, and less toward casting light over the right questions. The most profound thing for me were the parents' actions. The comparison to other cases in the past wrongfully labeled or the insight to the epilepsy or epilepsy-like symptoms were a great parallel and insights in the others' struggles. It totally gives another perspective in the matter. This movie is the reason why I'm watching everything I can get my hands on next from the director Trier. (I saw that he's related to the big Lars). Maybe it's not fair to make comparisons between both, but I felt a lot of similar energy to this product, as with other works of Lars.

A haunting meditation on what it means to be your authentic self. Tender, erotic, and beautifully shot.
