Una mujer normal

And that was the longest, irresponsible, and unregrettable title I've ever written.

This film (might have) firstly intended to capture a rich, famous, old rich family drama -which is nothing else than mental issues caused by physical insecurities and perfect-oriented behavior.

BUT, in capital and bold, BUT..this film was captured in the cringiest, ugliest, most awkward form you'll ever imagined, rather than it's general focus on the "psychological drama / mystery / horror (religious touch)" or whatever the hell the team was trying to capture.

It was so fabricated in the way you (film geeks) can easily know where this particular idea was coming from, where you've seen this scenes before, in what film have you watched this conversation before, so on and so forth.

One more cringiest thing I wanna write about this film is..despite of their family background and whatever the hell their attitude came for my nerve, this film took place in Indonesia and capturing Indonesian "rich" family issues (who married a cinderella from a village with her problematic mother)..and that kid (daughter) barely used Indonesian language in a rather unusual setting and unnecessary conversation with the whole film throughout.

For me, this looks as if they initially tried to recycle the "Hidayah" kind of film that took place in 2025 era, with a more highly rich and (wannabe) respected family setting, added by a 180º degree different touch of religion and belief. No offense

Other than the ideas and reality I'd have to watch in a longest 1h 50m crappy film like this, the emotionless characters, weak-willed husband (father) living with 3 alpha girls, a yapping and too controlling grandmother (mother in law), and unrequited MUA who suddenly become the fortune-teller of the film's ending? This film is just wasting your time if you're watching it intentionally. Even if I watched it with a 1.5x speed on Netflix, this gave no values, meaning, nor brand new feelings towards the characters or both the story itself.

Try again, never.

Nothing in this script doesnt make sense, its like it was written by a 10 year old for homework in one afternoon. Im not gonna talk about hte details cuz every single thing about this story is ridiculous. Bad storz, bad plot, bad actors, bad ending, bad characters. I honestlz cant believe that Netflix is buying this. Dont waste your time like me.

Unlike the negative reviews I found this movie quite heartening. It's a slow build but from the beginning you can see that the main cast is already unhappy with her life.

The takeaway is this - Not staying true to yourself rots away at your soul, and in this film literally.

Many chase riches and success, barely anyone takes the time to even know who they truly are and the life they truly want. They chase and follow blindly until they realised they've thrown half their lives to waste.

It's a good message and a fairly obvious one. Live a life true to yourself. Obviously anyone who hasn't done much of any introspection would simply lack the depth to understand this movie's message or appreciate it.

While majority of the characters were not likeable that's the point. The message is clear and a good wake up call to anyone still living in limbo. Wake up and live a life true to yourself, not what others tell you.

Edit: it's called a Normal woman because thats all she wanted to be, since young.

Genuinely believe majority of yall are not very smart at all. Sorry director, you deserve a smarter audience. I got the message :)

It must be a cultural thing but I could not imagine being in a situation like the one portrayed in this awful movie. I gave it three stars because the house where they filmed it was very nice. But the acting was overly dramatic, like a play; all the characters were unlikable except for the elderly maid; the plot was stupid; the mother in law was insufferable; the husband was a mama's boy; the daughter was ugly and they spoke in English to each other in some of the scenes. What's up with that? But I'm not familiar with Indonesian culture so who knows? Character development was very slow because of all the overacting.

I watched this on Netflix to see what an Indonesian movie was like. I hung in there for the two long hours but am I proud of it....no. Will I remember it after tonight, probably not. Will it keep me from watching any more foreign films probably yes.

I can't stand the movie. I had to fast forward this movie.

The husband and mother in law are hard to watch. So typical indonesian story where the rich husband listens to his mum and mother in law is so mean.

Such a bad story to blame on the wife when the wife has gone thru so much. Of course the wife is stressed, how could you now stressed when you live with husband and mother in law like that.
