There’s nothing black-and-white about the moral space this family occupies. It’s in this messiness where “A Normal Family” thrives.

An unpredictable ride, right up to the film’s abrupt but poetically thought-provoking smash ending.

In streamlining the novel’s structure, Hur ends up taking a considerable amount of time to illuminate its central drama

Jae-wan unconvincingly rationalizes morally dubious behavior and Jae-gyoo almost as equally unconvincingly rationalizes his own presence in an obviously unjust system as having somewhat more integrity.

Although director Hur Jin–ho's A Normal Family isn't without speechifying, it's far more subtle and accomplished than Moverman's film.
