I did not love Leaving Normal, but I did not hate it either. The only thing that really annoyed me about the movie was the 2 main characters. I guess that is weird to say, seeing as they are central to the movie, but oddly enough, I still kind of liked the movie. With Marianne and Darly's characters, I just felt like I'd seen it before many times over. I know this movie came out a while ago, but I still couldn't help feeling the unoriginality of it, even for the time. Marianne's character was so helpless it was hard to watch. I did however enjoy some of the one liners in it.
Overall though, I would have to say my favorite film of the semester was Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Maybe it is because I know someone that is going through a similar struggle, but I really liked the movie. Plus, I liked watching their drag shows throughout the film.
