84. Thelma, Era of Manifesting a Girlfriend
CW: Light sensitivity warning in the movie!! Religious trauma, abusive/controlling parents, attempted suicide, attempted homicide of a child, infant death, drugging, repression.
We watched Thelma (2017), a Norwegian thriller by Joachim Trier. This film, which is about a young woman who develops a seizure disorder then discovers her psychic powers as she falls in love with her classmate, really manifested our interest. We had a lot to say about power, manipulation, queer repression, and finding your place!
Watch first, then join us as we talk through it!
