Mad to Be Normal boils a fascinating subject down into a slightly clunky, simplistic bio-drama.
Tennant's performance is strong, and he gives energy to a script that jolts in different directions looking for focus.
David Tennant's masterful portrayal of a man driven to do good, but with astonishingly little self-awareness of the chaos he leaves in his wake, is a delight to watch -- though we don't get enough context.
Mad to Be Normal is an enthralling drama about a man who was both misunderstood and misguided.
More illuminating as a character study, with the ever-charismatic Tennant showing how Laing was able to dominate those around him so easily.
Mad to Be Normal takes the life story of someone who defied norms in every aspect of his life and then squeezes said story into a traditional biopic. What should have been a film vibrating with Laing's unique energy ends up being unengaging.
