Let me say from the start, Vera Farmiga is amazing as Norma Bates. She is such an accomplished actress. So good in Clooney's "Up in the Air" (2009).
In this final episode, one minute it's screwball comedy delivery, then she is telling Norman about sibling incest and a violent father. The Bates family Christmas dinner must have been a laff riot.
Lots of great bits this week:
The target practice scene with Dylan and Norma was endearing. Midnight at the docks.... don't piss off Sheriff Romano! At screwy Miss Watson's place ... Norman becomes 'teacher's pet' - the pivotal scene when Norman hears mom (in his head) tell him, "You know what you have to do....." The die is cast. No turning back now. The cliffchanger, does Norman top his teacher?
A great end to Series 1, paving the way for more Bates twistedness/White Pine Bay corruption in Series 2.
I'm in.
fabulous -suspenseful- almost written as the characters perform -acting and casting is absolutely incredible. Have followed Freddie from Two Brothers and he has not disappointed. Vera is also incredulous and a younger, more animated Meryl Streep. Cannot wait for next season.
ReplyDeleteI agree - Vera Farmiga is an incredible actress - she plays comedy well also.

ReplyDeleteYes, but the moon is not only for loonies. The wolves were howling with delight-for Norma and Norman!!! If the remote is fully charged you can find plenty out there to bash.
