A movie that felt very real and lived in. No cliches. Very well done.

"A Normal Life" is a beautiful, touching, and thought-provoking film with family and brotherhood at the center of the story. I'm the eldest of five siblings and I've always considered myself to be a type of liaison between my mother and my younger brother and sisters, so I understand both the fears of the mother in this movie as well as the struggles of the oldest son. It's one of those stories that breaks your heart a little but then tugs on your heart strings at the same time. The cast was phenomenal. Very good movie!

Slow moving

A sympathetic look at a family confronting change with a Down's syndrome child in abeyance. Very slow moving with sparse direct dialogue. Sympathy, no heroes.
