Cody Dericks Next Best Picture It’s a dizzying journey that’s an exciting showcase for its debut director. Rated: 7/10 Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International A kind of cinematic graphic novel that navigates a deft tonal journey through humour, melancholy, romance, edgy drama and some trippy visual montages. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Hayley Croke Loud and Clear Reviews There are glimpses of greatness within How to Be Normal and the Oddness of the Other World; however, the artistic vision of this film overwhelms its minuscule character and substance development. Rated: 3/5 Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Dustin Chang ScreenAnarchy How to be Normal asks big questions about what is perceived as normal when the world around us is insane. Pia, constantly under pressure to be normal, is trying to hold on to the idea of home and self-worth in the world constantly in turmoil. Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
