Shy young Thelma (Eili Harboe) has been raised in a religious fundamentalist household. So when she falls for sexy fellow student Anja (Kaya Wilkins) at college, she’s naturally consumed by confusion and guilt. Alas, this manifests in the form of alarming supernatural abilities.
Returning to Norway after making the disappointing Louder Than Bombs in Hollywood, Joachim Trier serves up a classy, sexually-charged telekinetic lesbian horror thriller. It’s Norway’s official submission to the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 90th Academy Awards.
