Die schüchterne Thelma verlässt ihr streng religiöses und konservatives Elternhaus in der ländlichen Idylle der norwegischen Wälder, um in Oslo zu studieren. Als sie auf dem Campus ihre Kommilitonin Anja kennenlernt, entwickelt sich zwischen den beiden eine starke Anziehungskraft. Zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben genießt sie die Zwanglosigkeit der Jugend, feiert Partys und entdeckt ihre Weiblichkeit. Doch plötzlich erlebt Thelma epilepsieartige Anfälle und es beschleicht sie der Verdacht, dass mit ihrem Befreiungsschlag auch übersinnliche Fähigkeiten freigesetzt wurden, die in ihrer Familiengeschichte tief verwurzelt sind. (Thimfilm)

Ein skandinavisch düsteres, innerlich zartes Drama über die Einsamkeit und eine traurige Gefangenschaft eines jungen Menschen in religiösen gedanklichen Grenzen. Eine perfekte Kombination der Geschichte mit einem übernatürlichen Thriller mit Horrorcharakter und einem schmerzenden Herz, das sich nach der ersten erfüllten "verbotenen“ Liebe sehnt. Ein tolles Erlebnis mit brillanter Regie und wahrscheinlich der europäische Film des Jahres. [Sitges FF]

Towards the end of the year, a disturbing item from Norway. Thelma, a strong believer so far unbowed by anything, gradually begins to taste the sins of high school life and falls in love with a girl, but strange and inexplicable things start happening around her. It sounds like a short story by Stephen King, something like Carrie, but the film hits more on psychology than pure horror, though a couple of scenes are definitely worth it (the ones with the baby and the spontaneous combustion on the boat). I was a bit disappointed by the open ending, which I'm not a big fan of, but otherwise undoubtedly a quality affair with a social subtext. Well made with intelligent dialogue, atmospheric, gloomy and with a lesbian touch. I enjoyed it. 80%.

This was a really weird film about weird people. The filmmakers apparently had some special powers, too, because they managed to make me enjoy it, even though the plot seemed to be dragging a bit at times. Only now I'm not so sure of that. What I do know is that I enjoyed the strange dark atmosphere combined with distinctive editing. I couldn't really switch off my brain, which usually isn’t a problem for me.

Just when I thought the film was putting me to sleep, that it had moments that weren't very entertaining, it suddenly showed me a scene that managed to wake me up again. Thelma has elements that are a bit unexpected at first glance, but on second glance they are elements that definitely work in the overall concept of the film.

Joachim Trier served audiences a chillingly Nordic psychological thriller bordering on horror, lightly seasoned with lesbian eroticism. It's a very crazy combination, but it works quite well in the end. The atmosphere grabbed me like crazy and I willingly let myself be swept away, even slightly scared by the not-very-believable story, whose main character, convincingly portrayed by Eili Harboe, I wouldn't want as a friend, to be honest.
