Borderline Normal

I saw this film in Belfast, last month at the Cinemagic film festival. It was easily the best film there! It is full of laughs but gets into some serious themes as well! I just read that it won the best film prize at the festival. The award is well deserved! I think it is a Canadian movie, so keep your eyes open for it. You won't be disappointed!

I tuned into this film on a lazy Sunday afternoon, & was quite surprised by it. Normally I'm a bit skeptical about some of these Canadian films we put out, but Borderline Normal was truly a refreshing change.

The story is good, the acting is good overall, especially Catarina Scorsone. Her performance is absolutely smashing. Hopefully she'll get some more recognition in the future. She was also in The Third Miracle, and for the small role she played, she was very convincing.

It's worth checking out(I saw it on TMN)if you can find it. And true to my Canadian roots, if it's good and we helped make it, I'll plug it as best I can.

I was conned into seeing this film at the World Festival in Montreal last fall and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting your run-of-the-mill made-for-cable family drama (you know, cheesy and contrived...) BUT this was much better than that, a funny and strangely touching love story about two kids trying to make sense of their world. And some great performances (Caterina Scorsone is amazing...who on earth is she???) definitely make this one worth checking out.

This film deserves SO much more recognition. It may not be a big hollywood hit but it is well made, the actings terrific, the plot is captivating, and the story is touching - and relatable for many. It shows the stereotypes americans and canadians have for eachother in a funny yet well crafted way. Im so so deeply upset that this film isn't more popular because it's genuinely one of my favourite films, and this is coming from a film studies a level student, who got an A*. I really hope that this film gains more recognition soon - although i doubt it - because its so incredible. Its one of my comfort movies and i share it with everyone i meet.

This is the most appalling propaganda film attempting to sell the lie that any woman can be pushed to the edge of their sensibility and still remains fundamentally good and wholesome in spite of the emotional abuse they subject their young male CHILDREN to. Bravo Canada! Child abuse is legit if it involves abusing young men and being a poor female role model in their lives. Is there negative stars for this?!
