Norman/Norman

About This Movie

Norman/Norman is a raw, introspective documentary that peels back layers of familial love and unresolved trauma. The film juxtaposes the warmth of Norman's current life with the dark shadow cast by his past. It’s striking how the pacing builds tension, especially as he journeys to Jamaica. The use of personal interviews and atmospheric visuals creates a haunting yet intimate exploration of forgiveness and confrontation. The emotional weight of Norman's story, especially the performances of both him and his daughters, really linger. It’s not just about the act of facing his father; it’s about the generational pain and the quest for closure. This film stands apart through its unflinching portrayal of healing and the complexities of fatherhood.
