Norman's elegantly told story is brought brilliantly to life by a quietly powerful performance from Richard Gere.

"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…

Builds to a dazzlingly regulatory ending, one that's as elegantly constructed as its hero's life is messy. May 17, 2018 | Full Review…

Cut beneath the financial wheeling-and-dealing, and "Norman" is a surprisingly thoughtful film. Dec 27, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

This is a fine little film, with a good performance from Gere (doing a downmarket version of his more typical slick-businessman roles) and a supporting cast that includes Michael Sheen, Steve Buscemi and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Dec 18, 2017 | Full Review…
