Thelma, una joven y tímida estudiante, se despide de su religiosa familia de un pequeño pueblo para trasladarse a estudiar a la capital. Un día, en la biblioteca, conoce a Anja y comienza a sentirse atraída por ella. A medida que los sentimientos hacia Anja crecen empiezan a ocurrir sucesos inexplicables alrededor. Thelma deberá entonces enfrentarse a trágicos secretos de su pasado, y a la aterradora posibilidad de que ella sea la causa de todo lo que sucede. (Surtsey Films)

Un drama escandinavo lúgubre e interiormente frágil sobre la soledad y el encarcelamiento deprimente de un adolescente en los límites del pensamiento religioso. Perfectamente emparejado con un suspenso sobrenatural de proporciones de terror, y con un corazón dolorido que late con el deseo de cumplir el primer amor «prohibido». Una experiencia asombrosa, brillantemente dirigida y probablemente la película europea del año. [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.
