@NavyVet🔥🔥🔥Dec 2, 2020“but we’re all just really... just on our own” uncommonly lovely, which is even more impressive considering the subject matter is so bleak. this was genuine from the first moment to the last, and i felt it in every moment in between
LucyFeb 14, 2020“Ordinary Love” isn’t really a movie about cancer, even though this tender and discreet portrait of a marriage on fire begins with a woman (Lesley Manville) asking her longtime husband (Liam Neeson) to feel the lump she finds under her left breast. It isn’t even a movie…

"Don't make me laugh. It hurts." Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville are Tom and Joan: an "ordinary" couple who are still in love. The story plays out in a standard and realistic way: Joan discovers a lump; she goes in for tests. One thing is clear: mammograms were invented…

Neeson, taking a welcome break from his late-career reinvention as a man of action, and Manville (Another Year, Phantom Thread) are such gifted performers, and they play this couple – their tenderness and stress – at a likably subtle frequency.

The film’s strength lies in the performances — two fine actors elevating their roles from the touchingly mundane to the suddenly momentous.

It almost works, but as persuasive as the performers can be, Tom and Joan seem less real the more time you spend with them.
