The New Normal offers a raw glimpse into the isolation and urgency of life during the pandemic. Ana, the protagonist, embodies the fraught experience of impending motherhood juxtaposed with a world consumed by fear. The pacing feels deliberate, mirroring the slow creep of anxiety that many felt during lockdown. The film uses practical effects sparingly, often relying on tight cinematography to draw us closer to Ana's emotional state. The performances, especially by the lead, feel grounded and authentic, capturing the fragility of human connections amidst chaos. It’s not flashy, but there’s a quiet intensity that lingers, making you reflect on the simple act of leaving home in uncertain times.
