Overview

Ulysse doesn't come to the town looking for trouble. He comes looking for nothing, which is exactly the point. A quiet Midwestern town buried under snow, the kind of place where nothing much happens and nobody much asks, feels like the right place to disappear after a career that took more from him than it gave. He takes the interim Sheriff post and tells himself this is fine. Simple, even.

 Normal is a neo-Western that earns its grit. It's about a man who came to a small town to do very little and ended up doing the hardest thing of all, which is refusing to walk away when walking away would have been so much easier. Small towns, it turns out, can carry very large secrets. And some of them have been waiting a long time for someone stubborn enough to find them.

Fun Facts

- Writer Derek Kolstad actually wrote the script for Normal before Nobody was even filmed. It was while working on Nobody together that he and Odenkirk discussed the project and decided it would make for another great collaboration. Kolstad has described Normal as a love letter to Alfred Hitchcock and the British crime thrillers he grew up watching.

- Normal marks the third movie Odenkirk has filmed in Winnipeg in the last five years.
