When 93-year-old Thelma Post gets duped by a phone scammer, she sets out on a treacherous quest to reclaim what was taken from her.
“Manages to be so charming and heartfelt that the laughs never feel lazy, cheap, or cruel. Its observations about the disconnect between its elderly protagonist and the society around her are surprisingly relatable.” – New York Magazine/Vulture
“The film reflects on issues of aging and autonomy with a mostly light touch, its protagonist making a strong case for the enduring spirit of elderly folks too often infantilized by both society and their loved ones.” – Hollywood Reporter
