Norman Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Tracy Moore
Affecting drama about terminal illness has mature themes.
Boston Globe
Joel Brown
Byrd and Jenkins earn the film its critical points, but the screenplay has too many moments that feel network-TV-bland.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
A small film with nicely etched performances, assembled in a way that is consistently engaging and surprising. How many movies can you say that about?
New York Times
Andy Webster
There's something sweet about Jonathan Segal's modest high school drama, "Norman," despite the contrivances of its protagonist's predicament and its stacking of the emotional deck.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
There's a winning emotional truth in the father-son scenes in this Spokane-shot sleeper, directed with skill and sensitivity by Jonathan Segal.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
For first-time screenwriter Wingate and Segal, in only his second feature (2004's "The Last Run), it's impressive work - they never overplay the pity card, opting for insight into the complexities of growing up instead.
Boxoffice Magazine
Kate Erbland
A disquieting outing with little in the way of honest payoff.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The director, Jonathan Segal, skillfully builds on the tension that this situation creates, though he can't quite make Wingate's ending click. Still, Segal is so good with his actors that you may not mind.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Perhaps there was a disjuncture between director Jonathan Segal and screenwriter Talton Wingate, or the two first-timers didn't realize how difficult their movie-world premise makes it to take anything else in the film seriously.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
For me, Richard Jenkins is the heart of "Norman." How often I've admired him; even in unworthy roles, he has such strength, he never seems the need to try.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
A would-be dark, self-congratulatory dramedy that lacks both transgressive laughter and honest engagement with its themes of death and teen depression.
Boston Phoenix
Nina Mashurova
The trapped animal look in Norman's eyes feels more and more like an appropriate reaction.
Village Voice
Benjamin Mercer
Although Norman succeeds in fleshing out its troubled main character, the actions of his peers are consistently harder to accept.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Jonathan Segal's polished sophomore feature effectively grows more serious as it confronts the already grieving hero with the imminent loss of a second parent.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jon Frosch
Coming-of-age tales have been done and done again, but Jonathan Segal's Norman delivers a bracing twist on the genre.
