7/6/2023 0 Comments The normal heart kramerJoe Mantello delivers one powerhouse monologue with an air of shattered desperation that works especially well in contrast to his co-stars' shouting, while Jim Parsons is a touching standout as the sensitive Tommy, who catalogues his friends' deaths by holding onto their Rolodex cards, creating "a collection of cardboard tombstones, bound together with a rubber band". Ruffalo, Kitsch and Bomer all give spectacularly affecting performances, but just as many of the strongest moments come from the supporting cast. It's the grounded, tender character dynamics that come to life most powerfully, with Ned and Felix's endearingly understated romance laying the groundwork for a gut-wrenching third act. Having tried and failed to enlist help from the Mayor and from his high-powered brother Ben (Alfred Molina), he starts the grassroots organization Men's Health Crisis, providing information and help to victims who are literally being turned away from emergency wards.īut Ned's aggressive campaigning style leads to friction with the rest of the group and most significantly his deeply closeted best friend Bruce (Taylor Kitsch), whose boyfriend is one of the first to die. Ned, a lifelong loner experiencing love for the first time with journalist Felix Turner (Matt Bomer), is persuaded by Brookner to take action.
