Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer (2016)

An American Israeli drama directed by Joseph Cedar, starring Richard Gere, Hank Azaria, Steve Buscemi, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Michael Sheen.
Businessmen and politicians schmooze. There is a church that needs money and the main character knows a man with a high position in international politics.
Boring and incoherent drivel. The plot was muddier than an episode of Dirty Jobs and the characters were shallower than a soup spoon. The only part that I liked was the ending when the church people were singing and the main character sat on a park bench. It was better than it sounds. There were some sections of dialogue in Israeli, but they could not possibly have enough significance to define the movie within the 5 minutes they happened in. There were many scenes in which the audio did not match the video intentionally. People would be seen talking with no audio (image) or the audio would have dialogue, but the people speaking would not be on screen. I can't possibly imagine why this needed 8 minutes of credits at the end. I rate this bad for being a pointless waste of 2 hours. Do not watch!
