Normal [PRIME VIDEO] Review: All Violence, No Plot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bob Odenkirk shoots his way through Normal, a Prime Video action-comedy with entertaining violence and barely enough plot to sustain a plot hole. Clay also survives a $264 Henley Beach lunch, identifies a suspected college thief and debates whether children’s birthday parties have finally become enjoyable. Snack pairing: Froot Loops. Final rating: 5.5/10.

Clay reviews Todd Solondz’s controversial 1998 cult film, including Philip Seymour Hoffman’s painfully uncomfortable performance, the brilliant opening breakup and the loneliness hiding beneath its most disturbing characters.
