My Normal

I saw this movie in high school and it inspired me to become a dominatrix. It's one of my favorite movies. It became more relatable the further I got into being a Pro Domme. It so accurate to the lifestyle. And I love the way it is portrayed. The family life. The different girls and their relationships. Sitting around the dungeon. The relationship with subs. Being close friends with the connect. The fact that so many dominatrices are lesbian stoners. Ugh. It's a classic and I show it to as many people as I can. And it's so so wonderfully 2000s.

It's got a wonderful low budget vibe. I can tell that the people working on it love the story and that the writer, in a fourth wall breaking full circle way, knows the lifestyle very well.

People have been, and will continue to watch movies for various reasons. Some crave an action packed film to compensate for the lack of action in their own lives, some watch romance to believe that they will be swept off their feet. Some people watch educational films to widen their horizons, and many simply want to be entertained. Somewhere along the line people forgot the true power of film; the power to capture, and portray a world that the viewer might never understand otherwise. My Normal does exactly that. Through a great script, artistic editing, and a talented cast My Normal engages the viewer and allows them to see an underground world through the eyes of someone who understands it. The movie was sexy, clever, extremely funny, and eye opening. More people need to see this movie with an open mind that allows them to understand its true purpose. Loved it!

Well, if you like porn film acting without the porn, this movie is for you. Not terribly interesting characters or plot. Not very sexy either. Actually, a couple of the actors were decent, but not enough to save it.

"My Normal" is the perfect title for this movie. Another reviewer stated this movie should have been compared to the normal of every day people as opposed to the normal of a Dominatrix. I disagree, this movie was about Natalie's normal. Which is, she is a lesbian, and a Dominatrix. Her life revolves around finding her place while loving her job that most people find odd.

Living in New York city and being in the scene, I see a lot of Dominatrix's who struggle to find their place in life. Whether it be being a Dominatrix, or whatever they struggle to find happiness. This movie does a great job of exploiting this. It really was an amazing film. It kept me highly entertained. I definitely recommend this film to those who find themselves struggling to find their place in a world that society will most likely never fully understand. Whether it does or doesn't this film does an excellent job at portraying what is normal in a world that is not understand.

Natalie works as a S&M dominatrix in New York. Her mother complains that she's wasting her psychology degree. She wants to be a filmmaker. She befriends the local weed delivery dealer Noah and starts dating Jasmine. When she finally gets on a movie set, it's in an underwhelming experience. She uses her unusual talent to make her movie a reality.

Despite the edgy shell of the lesbian dominatrix world, the interior is nothing too dramatic. The story is thin and short. There are a couple of interesting ideas and scenes. Nicole LaLiberte and Ty Jones are functional actors. There is simply not enough meat on the bones. This needs more work on the script if it intends to be a full feature.
