Her talent then opens doors for her – to elevate her family’s situation and change the course of her own life.

Thelma Audience Reviews

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
pirieandrew-92052 I was finally able to watch my copy of the Movie Thelma. Which stars Maja Salvador as the track runner Thelma. Also, the Interesting thing about this movie is it features the legendary Elma Muros 'Guest Appearance' as 'Coach Rose' her coach. Who recruits Thelma after she wins what appears to be a 400m in lanes at the Palarong Pambansa.  Most noteworthy was Muros also helped Salvador get in shape not just in reel but in real life.The 2011 release is an 'Indie' Film. (An indie film is an independently produced film with a limited shooting budget). It was released by Star Cinema and directed by Paul Soriano. Also, the interesting thing is that many provincial athletes from different sports can probably relate to Thelma's story. As this is not based on an individual but inspired by true stories. Hence I'm certain that Elma Muros who hails from the small island of Romblon off the coast of Luzon was also part of that inspiration.It was very interesting to see the lack of development in the province and how athletes dealt with it. Consequently, Thelma obviously grew strong from carrying sacks of rice and bottles of waters on the farm. And didn't require any sort of weight training. Also, the interesting the thing was how the track surfaces seemed to get better starting as dirt, then very old tartan, then slightly better tartan, to relatively new looking tartan as she progressed from city to district to regional to the Palarong Pambansa.
