We continue our Danish film series with a film directed by a woman. Malou Reymann’s A Perfectly Normal Family follows title group through some changes as one member comes to terms with being transgender. Set in the 90s and told from an adolescent point of view, the film is “a personable young girl approaching all the usual difficulties of adolescence, suddenly forced to confront a monumental earthquake in her life without much support. On that level alone, A Perfectly Normal Family is an engagingly sincere picture of good people trying to negotiate barely charted territory to the best of their abilities” – Jay Weissberg, Variety.
