🎬 Normal (Short Film Review)

Directed by: Justen Mann
Written by: David Girard
Starring: David Girard, Karen Konzen
Reviewed by: David Esposito – BOOM! Film Festival

In Normal, a seemingly ordinary day takes a turn when a wife discovers she can hear her husband’s thoughts. Set against the backdrop of their daily routine, the couple confront unfiltered truths that often go unsaid in relationships. What begins as a witty domestic comedy evolves into an exploration of insecurity, honesty, and what it really means to be “normal.”

The film stands out for its clever and relatable writing, sharp performances (especially from Karen Konzen), and polished cinematography. Its exploration of inner dialogue versus spoken words feels fresh and insightful. However, the story occasionally loses focus as it juggles multiple ideas — from the mind-reading twist to the “normal vs. not normal” theme — and the ending feels abrupt, leaving the emotional arc unresolved.

⭐ My Rating: 4.5 / 5
