Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) 02/05/2024
The sights and sounds aren’t quite enough to save this overlong script and despite its lofty ambitions, and sleek surfaces, A Nearly Normal Family is only nearly good. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 12/13/2023
It is marginally better than mediocre, but it’s also a quick binge Go to Full Review

Mar 28 Much better than I had anticipated, very good actors and with an unexpected ending See more APU S 08/25/2024 I consider this as one of the masterpieces of Swedish cinema. Each of them especially Adam, Ulrika and Stella has proven their mastery of acting. See more elana k 05/18/2024 I'm not sure if I needed to watch six whole episodes to get to the bottom of this murder case as there was simply not enough substance, emotionally, narratively and otherwise to fill all the episodes. But the performances managed to overrule my objections until the final verdict. See more DMC M 04/21/2024 I'm of on the fence with this one. Did I like it or not? I'm not sure. I watched it right to the end because it held my interest and was well acted. I liked that it was dubbed with normal sounding British voices (a lot of movies dubbed in English are done so poorly I can barely stand them) but I think I was hoping for a better ending and more of a twist and overall I felt it could have been cut to 3 epodes that were more dramatic. See more Kyle J 04/16/2024 The story is solid. Great acting governed by great direction (as i believe is always the case). See more Joshua m @Flameon 04/03/2024 First rate acting really brings these characters to life. It is a little predictable though, but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it. See more Read all reviews
