Full Plot Details

Norman Oppenheimer is the President of New York based Oppenheimer Strategies. His word-of-mouth business is consulting work largely in American-Israeli business and politics, that focus due to being Jewish. Most of that work is as a fixer: doing work that others don't want to do and with which they don't want to be officially associated. In reality, Norman is a shyster, and not a very good one at that. His office is comprised of his cell phone and whatever is stuffed in his satchel which is usually slung over his shoulder as he wanders the streets. What he promises is making connections, setting up a meeting between his guy and the other guy. Generally, "his guy" is non-existent, he dropping names of people he usually doesn't know to make connections. A usual tactic he uses is to say that his deceased wife was personally connected to so-and-so, such as being a babysitter, those stories always untrue. All he needs is for one of the people that he approaches to believe a story to build that network. Not so much a story, but an act of kindness with that ulterior motive does eventually pan out as the connection of which he could have only dreamed. He is able to build off that connection to become the toast of the town, a status upon which he tries to parlay into being an even bigger fish in the pond. But the greater his exposure, the greater the potential scrutiny about him as a person, which could bring his fragile network come crumbling down around him.

Movie Reviews

Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversA spellbinder that features Richard Gere in one of his best performances ever.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Claudia PuigAs involving as the story is with its impressive ensemble cast, “Norman” is above all a showcase for Gere’s substantial talents.
The New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottIt’s less that Mr. Cedar blends realism with absurdity than that he refuses to acknowledge any distinction between them.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Todd McCarthyCedar impressively creates a complex and intricately detailed portrait of the web of political, financial, social and religious affiliations that has everything to do with how the world works.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsA vital and wily seriocomic odyssey. And Gere has never been better, more alive, on screen.
Variety - 9/10 by Peter DebrugeIt can take a TV series an entire season to establish a political intrigue as elaborate as the one Cedar devises here — and even longer to flesh out such a fascinating protagonist, when all Cedar had to do was give this archetype a name.
The Seattle Times - 9/10 by Moira MacdonaldGere, who somehow seems to make himself physically smaller here, creates a character both infuriating and endearing.
Movie Nation - 9/10 by Roger MooreCedar has given Gere his own “House of Cards” to move into, where the game analogies spin out as chess and, most tellingly, dominoes. Norman needs them to fall just so, and if they do, he will be a man to be reckoned with.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Richard RoeperGere’s work in “Norman” is to be treasured. It’s one of the best performances in any movie this year.
We Got This Covered - 8/10 by Joseph HernandezDelving into the intricacies of friendships, the way a lie can spiral out of control and the dangers of mixing politics and business, Norman: The Moderate Rise And Tragic Fall Of A New York Fixer is a compellingly complex and playful take on the political thriller.
