Norma

About This Movie

So, 'Norma' from 2018 is this quietly powerful animated piece that really dives into the notions of beauty standards through the eyes of two girls. It’s not your typical animation though; there's a rawness to the visuals that sets it apart, giving the whole film a distinct charm. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the characters' struggles—a kind of reflective experience. Themes of self-acceptance are explored in a way that feels both personal and universal. I find the performances, even in animation, to have a certain sincerity that resonates. It’s all about the journey of these girls, and the way they navigate their insecurities is really something else.
