David Opie IndieWire There’s nothing black-and-white about the moral space this family occupies. It’s in this messiness where “A Normal Family” thrives. Rated: B Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety An unpredictable ride, right up to the film’s abrupt but poetically thought-provoking smash ending. Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A spellbinding, taut and provocative crime thriller. Apr 22, 2025 Full Review William Schwartz HanCinema Jae-wan unconvincingly rationalizes morally dubious behavior and Jae-gyoo almost as equally unconvincingly rationalizes his own presence in an obviously unjust system as having somewhat more integrity. May 3, 2024 Full Review Pat Padua Washington City Paper Although director Hur Jin–ho's A Normal Family isn't without speechifying, it's far more subtle and accomplished than Moverman's film. Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Elissa Suh Literary Hub Hur Jin-ho’s commendably chilling adaptation of The Dinner by Herman Koch is a marked improvement from the high-strung but tonally manic American version starring Richard Gere. But fans of the spiky novel will still perceive a certain void. Oct 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
