In this intimate portrait of marriage, a couple who have shared their lives for many years have to deal with a serious illness. While living in fear of loss, they use humor and partnership to maintain hope.
"One of the most powerful performances of Lesley Manville's (‘Phantom Thread’) and Liam Neeson's (‘Taken’) careers, 'Ordinary Love' is one of those heartbreaking dramas that pierces the soul. And it's no wonder. After all, directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn invest in this heavy drama, which borders on melodrama, to tell the story of a couple who have to deal with a serious illness of the wife. It's the typical movie like ‘Side by Side’ or ‘A Proof of Love’, in which an illness guides the feelings, emotions and sensations of the narrative. There are some exaggerations and a lack of delicacy on the part of the filmmakers, who are also partners in the good ‘Good Vibrations’. However, in the end, emotion takes over the screen and the experience is worth it, especially for those who like a good drama, with good actors and a cast that gives itself to the story. To cry and be moved."
