Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer
Crit
A surprisingly gentle and moving portrait of a guy who initially seems to be angling for the next big score but turns out only to want to be in the game. Be careful what you wish for . . .
Richard Gere has never been one of my favorites (in fact, he wouldn't rank any higher than fifth in this great cast, behind Steve Buscemi, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Michael Sheen, and Hank Azaria), but this is an engaging performance, and ultimately a heartbreaking one.
Trailers
- Maudie--Sally Hawkins as an untutored artist
- Paris Can Wait--Wow: I immediately recognized Diane Lane (attired unprovocatively) from almost directly behind. The film looks dumb, though travelogue pretty.
- The Wedding Plan--Goofy-premised but apparently very good Israeli film.
