Normal

About This Movie

Normal (2020) really leans into the emotional weight of its premise, doesn't it? The tone is both intimate and raw. You feel this couple's struggle, their awkward moments, and the tender moments that come from navigating such a life-changing situation. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit with their feelings, rather than rushing through the story. The performances—while not from big-name actors—carry a genuine quality that resonates. There's a distinctive realism here, especially in how they portray the challenges of parenting a child with Down Syndrome. It doesn’t shy away from the complexities, which I think sets it apart from other dramas. It’s not about grand gestures but rather those small, poignant moments that really hit home.
