Superb! Makes me proud to be on the way to 90s & to be a 'balloon'! Thelma (June Squibb) was marvellous & also Danny and Ben. Stunningly witty & spellbinding! |

Really good adventure but with a slow pace. Easy to understand what everyone was saying. Really good actors. |

It's good to laugh leaving all that's going on in world out of my thoughts for a short while. |

Ridiculously endearing. I hope I have half her spirit when I get to her age. |

I quite liked witnessing the seemingly ordinary challenges faced by others. |

Made me worry about old age but was also fun! 'Do not go gentle into that good night!' |

xxx well. It's a long way from Shaft & Clockwork Orange but it was a great M.I.-esque romp. Good fun. (But God help us all...) |

Charming, amusing, poignant, heart warming. Thelma reminded me a lot of my 100 year old mother-in-law! |

Scary look at old age. Film wasn't quite what I expected. |

|
It was like an old revenge movie but without the violence. I thought it was good. |

Different from what I was expecting. Not as funny as I thought it would be. |

Silly - enjoyable - makes a change from the usual Fleet Film 'message' content. |

|
A slick and well made comedy that clearly resonates with anyone who has tried to coach an older relative on using technology. Given the laughter in the room a clear favourite with many just not my cup of tea for Fleet Film. |

Sort of enjoyable. But not looking forward to getting old! |

Predictable & unbelievable but harmless fun. Inoffensive but a bit mainstream for me. |

|
Okay but I would rather see films not screened locally at mainstream cinemas. |

Ridiculous. |

Liked fresh take on different view of life. |

A bit like a 1970s American TV film - but good to try something different. |
