Review of Thelma

I'd describe this movie as more frustrating than anything else thanks to it's rather bad ending. I was thoroughly enjoying it up until the confrontation scene at the light store, due to the complete improbability and lack of logic displayed by all the characters. For Thelma and Ben to not call the police at any point --- or even her grandson --- before going in was ridiculous. For Ben to not call the police after he couldn't hear her anymore was even more ridiculous. For Thelma to pull out the rather large gun from seemingly nowhere (Where did it come from exactly? She had no purse, and had just rolled over a couch minutes prior with no signs of a gun) added to the lack of believability in the entire scene. To top it all off, ignoring the fact that Thelma could barely use a computer at the start of the movie, having Thelma return the money to her bank account online immediately isn't even something you can do without verifying accounts first --- and it's not even possible for an outside account without using a wire transfer (that's why banks have Zelle instead). It makes me wonder if the writer had ever done online banking in his life. (Why even bring the computer into it and add to the improbability of the entire scene? He could have just handed her her cash back.) Then at the end she doesn't even inform the police about tracking down this scammer targeting old people, after spending a large majority of the movie talking about all the issues seniors face!? Wtf. There were way too many plot holes at the end, which was unfortunate as much of the writing during the rest of the movie, especially about people aging, was almost perfectly done. Many of the lines were hilarious. It's like the writer ran out of steam (or maybe the budget) at the end, and wanted to wrap everything up quickly. Unfortunately, the ending made zero sense for multiple reasons and ruined the movie for me.
