Rating: 4/10
The movie "Norman" I would award 3 3/4 stars. Most of the movie was
slow and repetitious. Norman's various meetings - especially the cameo
ones-- could have been presented in a shorter version. What saved the
movie, was the "4th Act", which was brilliant. I also thought the
facial close-ups were overdone. As good as Gir was, I tired of this
aspect, almost but not quite mugging. Of course the Israeli viewer can
"enjoy" certain parallels to political corruption occurrences in the
past- and maybe hints at the present "difficulties" of the present
Prime Minister. If the movie had been shorter, it would have been
better. It did mix nice satiric aspects with drama.
