Review of Norman (2010) by Heather M — 30 May 2013
This is a really good movie. The movie aims to immediately make the situation uncomfortable and it succeeds but as the movie goes on, a great amount of heart shines through as you are taken through the journey of what Norman is taking on.
A good portion of this movie is a tribute to various Monty Python skits, which was interesting but it seemed like those jokes were used to continue the flow of witty, and slightly awkward humor when the characters said all they needed to say.
The acting was great as well. Dan Byrd does a great job as the awkward and troubled Norman, but Emily VanCamp does a great job as the sweet and innocent Emily. If it wasn't for Emily VanCamp's performance, the message that the movie brings would have gotten lost early on.
It was really her acting ability that made everything impactful. Definitely worth the rent.
