Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express At its core A Normal Family questions parenting, society, justice while also asserting that normalcy is nothing more than an anomaly when it comes to families. May 29, 2025 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Hur’s multilayered film considers the cracks in the foundation of both families and how easily we can compromise our supposed ethics when it comes to our families make this a piercing and powerful film that doesn’t let any of its characters off the hook. Rated: 3.5/4 May 9, 2025 Full Review 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 Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta “A Normal Family” is an upper middle class parable about how thin the veneer of respectability and morality truly is. Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Robert Ham Willamette Week Neither Hur nor his actors provide any reason to care what happens to these entitled zombies and their awful offspring. May 21, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views If you do not like subtitles but may be willing to give a foreign movie a chance, start with this one, and you will not be disappointed. South Korean filmmakers are the best, and this movie proves that rule. May 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Lilya Incredible story, so real, the acting is amazing. Very powerful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review carlos A Fantastic film keeps you attentive every second. Great script and direction lots of symbolism. Thought provoking masterpiece. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Cathryn B I was gripped from the first scene. This film has incredible attention to detail and I loved the way it was shot. I saw it in a french cinema with french subtitles which did not detract from the experience. It has everything, marital relationships, familial relationships, the difficulties of parenting adolescents, strains of conscience, professionalism and much more. It provoked deep thought into moral dilemmas. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Moody C This is a very well written and taut drama up to ending where they did a really cheap, amateurish, and cliched stunt/action scene which will surprise and even shock most viewers but I have to roll my eyes afterwards. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review acsdoug D Excellent drama. A Normal Family is anything but run of the mill. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
