Ordinary Love's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
"Directed with wit, subtlety and great emotional honesty by Lisa Barros D?Sa and Glenn Leyburn (the co-directors of 2012?s brilliantly life-affirming Good Vibrations), it?s a singular story with universal appeal...I?ve seen it three times so far, and found it more joyous, heart-breaking and ultimately uplifting with each subsequent viewing".
The Guardian
"['Ordinary Love' is] acted with impeccable intelligence and sensitivity by Lesley Manville and Liam Neeson. And although there are some slightly stereotypical weepie moments, the film has a strong sense of emotional purpose and Manville and Neeson ? perhaps especially Manville ? bring conviction and force".
Roger Ebert
"There?s a push and pull between two great actors that keeps the air between them charged even as Manville is playing a woman in the throes of chemotherapy and Neeson fulfills the role of her husband in numb disbelief".
