ASHLEY JONES IS PERFECTLY NORMAL

Cinemavixion Review

Thomas Bangert's "Ashley Jones Is Perfectly Normal" presents a whimsical exploration of normalcy through the eyes of its titular character. When Ace reporter Ashley Jones's life takes an unexpected turn after an encounter with a mysterious, ancient woman, her perception of reality is delightfully upended. The film deftly navigates the absurdity of mistaken identities and the profound question of what it truly means to be "normal" in a world that often defies it. While the plot summary from the local data hints at a bizarre encounter, the external data elaborates on a medical diagnosis as the catalyst for Ashley's existential quandary, adding layers to her struggle for a stable life. Starring Hana Yuka Sano in a compelling performance, supported by Loa Allebach and Chris Yeschenko, the film invites viewers to question their own definitions of normalcy. Despite a modest reception on IMDb with a 4.4 rating, "Ashley Jones Is Perfectly Normal" offers a unique, thought-provoking narrative that champions embracing one's unique path, even when it deviates from the expected.
