      Emilie Black Cinema Crazed ... My Own Normal is an ok documentary from a team that shows they are inexperienced in how the film is directed and shot, the film feels incomplete here, like something is missing, like there should have been more in-depth interviews... Rated: 3/5 Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com My Own Normal is, most appropriately, a documentary that reinforces the normalcy of the disabled life along with those with disabilities living, loving, working, playing, parenting, chasing dreams, and creating families. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Apr 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
