Norm: The Tale of Norm MacDonald

This documentary follows the life and career of a master of deadpan humor, tracing a path marked by uncompromising choices and contradictions. It offers a look at the person and performer behind a distinctive comedic style.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy documentaries about distinctive comedians and careers full of contradictions; Not for you if you’re looking for a scripted story or detailed critical reviews.
