A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Sabah Hensley
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Yash Wade
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Phillipa
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Has all the right feels-characters both real and relatable, tension ratchets up well. Enjoyed it. Time well spent, definitely recommend.

The quality of this film is very high, the acting impeccable and the cast simply perfect.What do we know about Northern European countries? People seem very peaceful at first but is it real peace or are they just pretending? The acting in this movie is so convincing that the actors didn't even need to wear make up. The protagonist's expression is very profound and filled with pain. A little jewel which I warmly recommend to those interested in the paranormal and psychology in general.
NEON POLTERGEIST
Thelma Starts very Subtle and powerful, Ewoking that dark tone of
Carrie, Firestarter or that 1 minute scene with rogue kissing a boy for the first time. when thelmas uncontrollable powers
start shaking It has a more realistic impact on the viewer because of the tempo
and scene of the movie. Something missed from every CGI superhero drivel today
that makes haste skipping that coming of age story.
All Is well Til Its final Act. But then the director makes the biggest mistake
and loose focus on the credability.
Thelmas powers seems to have endless possibilities and are never
really explained except she has the powers of Jesus.
She can make people disappear and reapear and her dreams becomes reality.
she also have the same kind of telekenetic firestarter power and can make things
move. And she can travel between planes.
The problem for me with this Is that all mystery and suspense Is
lost cause of her enormous powers. All she needs to do is to wish people away.
So not even superman would stand a chance really. Her tragic story also abruptly ends there. she kills her family and that,s the weird ending.
There,s some good scenes throughout and are definetly a movie worth seeing one time, but won,t end up on my end of the year list.
The soundtrack Is also very bad, We have one great song from agnes but Its an old tune and heard so many times before this movies release so theres really not much here for me to find

A girl moves away from home for college and her sexual desires reawaken some innate abilities. From this moment on what is real and unreal is in question at times.
The movie is extremely watchable and I found myself not wanting it to end, desiring more of an explanation of how and why things were happening.
By the end of the movie we are led to believe that she seizes control of her abilities. Thelma's abilities are god like when you think about it, maybe Neo in the Matrix, but being able to control your own world and every detail. Is this all real? Or perhaps more a lucid dream...... Had me thinking of an old Buffy episode, "Normal Again".
Certainly worth watching, but this isn't your typical affair into the super powered individual, more on a level with Unbreakable and Split perhaps, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
