“Thelma” -  (PG-13; 1 hour, 37 minutes) -  Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother, “Thelma” puts a clever spin on movies like “Mission: Impossible,” shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. With infectious humor, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business — despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), or grandson Danny might believe. Playing Friday, July 5 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, July 6 at 2 and 7 p.m.; Sunday, July 7 at 2 p.m.; Wednesday, July 10 at 2 p.m., and Thursday, July 11 at 2 p.m.

National Theatre Live: “Nye” -  (PG-13; 2 hours, 40 minutes - with one intermission) - Michael Sheen plays Nye Bevan in a surreal and spectacular journey through the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state.
