Fantastic!

Disturbing yet enthralling

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I had little idea what was going on, but I didn't really care either. No redeeming features anywhere to be found, a waste of time.

Cinematography wildly overdone, script wildly underdone, acting so-so, verdict: film school end-of-year project.

Some films are awful, it's transparently obvious what they're trying to do but they fail on every point. But some films are bad in a different way: it's completely unclear what the director had in mind. Or, perhaps the best way of explaining 'Norfolk' is not to discuss plot, character, or cinematic style; but rather to imagine what would happen if someone with neither talent nor a budget aspires to make a vaguely artistic, pschological thriller. The "so bad it's good" trope doesn't even apply here, as everything is so muddled as well as inept. This really does feel like a school film-club project; and one that fundamentally, teaches the lesson that making movies is hard. Don't do it, kids!
