Leave your thoughts about I Used to Be Normal: A Boyband Fangirl Story.
| The AU ReviewHarris DangA joyous, heartwarming and illuminating documentary thanks to director Jessica Leski's non-judgmental and passionate approach to the subject about the positive reinforcement of fandom. |
| Concrete PlaygroundSarah WardDoesn't judge or dismiss or play up stereotypes, because everyone is a fangirl (or boy) for something, including the director herself. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesIt becomes gently clear that for each woman, boy-band love has been painful and sustaining. No one else understands the purity of it, the acute longing or the singularity each girl feels. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Robert W. MonkEntertaining and insightful, this is a must-see for anyone with an interest in celebrity and the subtle (and not so subtle) workings of fandom. |
| The Muse/JezebelMaria ShermanI Used to Be Normal is undeniably delightful, a rare exercise in pop culture's most nostalgic impulses that does not attempt to sell us back what we once adored. |
| The Monthly (Australia)Anwen CrawfordThey've been dismissed and patronised, but Beatlemaniacs, Directioners and other fangirls are very self-aware about their boy band "affliction." |
| Flicks.com.auGlenn DunksWhat to make of a film like I Used to be Normal: A Boyband Fangirl Story? A documentary that doesn't appear to want to make fun of its subjects and yet is made in such a way that laughter from the audience is all but inevitable. |
