Over the last seven days, the gripping psychological drama on Netflix titled “A Normal Woman” has made a splash in the streaming service’s rankings.
In simpler terms, the Indonesian movie follows the narrative of Milla (Marissa Anita), a woman who perceives herself as afflicted with an unfathomable and incurable ailment. As she spirals into mental distress, this once respected figure experiences rejection even from her own family members.
Under Lucky Kuswandi’s direction and collaboration, this captivating drama has been well-received by audiences since its premiere on Netflix on the 24th of July. In fact, it quickly climbed up Netflix’s global movie rankings within its debut week.
For eight consecutive days, “A Normal Woman” held a consistent spot in Netflix’s top 10 movie list. It achieved its highest rank, number 3, on July 27th, outperformed only by “Happy Gilmore 2” and “KPop Demon Hunters.” This impressive performance speaks volumes about the drama’s popularity (as reported by FlixPatrol).
The play may not have garnered extensive critical acclaim, but so far it has been positively received, with four out of the five reviews on Rotten Tomatoes categorized as positive. Conversely, its rating on IMDb is significantly lower, at present sitting at 4.4 out of 10 based on 754 user reviews.
A Normal Woman offers a captivating viewing experience, expertly portraying the struggle to maintain one’s identity amidst the crowd,” said LeisureByte. Meanwhile, Heaven of Horror highlighted the series’ “extremely dark” scenes that will leave you feeling unsettled and restless.
A Woman of Normalcy understands the narrative she’s conveying and skillfully delivers it to create an atmosphere of intrigue and impact, though there may be a minor flaw in her method by adopting a somewhat leisurely pace that could potentially cause interest to dip during a sluggish middle section,” wrote Ready Steady Cut.
The Digital Mafia Talkies found positives in the movie, commending the “scary elements” that were “subtly incorporated” into the storyline, while Decider had a more reserved response, stating that the film struggled to maintain its central message, despite the impressive cinematic approach.
If you prefer romantic dramas over psychological thrillers, Netflix might just be the perfect fit for you, offering a captivating choice like “My Oxford Year“, which is an adaptation of Julia Whelan’s 2018 novel and stars Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest.
A Normal Woman and My Oxford Year are both streaming on Netflix now.
