Gere, who somehow seems to make himself physically smaller here, creates a character both infuriating and endearing. May 10, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

"Norman" is a small character study of a classic wannabe - think "The King of Comedy," set in the world of Jewish politics - and when it gets bogged down in international intrigue it loses its way. May 4, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Is Norman a macher, a schnorrer or a mensch? Thanks to the filmmaker's sensitive touch and Gere's sympathetic performance, he gets to be all three. And that calls for mazel tovs all around. May 4, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

An intriguing little character study from writer/director Joseph Cedar that slowly evolves into an intricate little political drama -- anchored by Gere's mesmerizing performance. November 3, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…
