Joachim Trier’s Thelma (2017) adds a supernatural twist
to his usual humanistic technique. It opens intriguingly enough, with a
booming, Scanners-esque score by Ola
Fløttum and a startling scene in which a father contemplates killing his young
daughter, Thelma (played as an adult by Eili Harboe). The girl, we learn, has
dangerous powers, which reemerge when she becomes attracted to a college
classmate, Anja (Kaya Wilkins). The relationship between these two women is the
film’s strongest element, but Trier instead focuses on the origins of Thelma’s psychic
powers in the film’s latter half, which spoils some of the premise’s mystique.
