Ordinary is the strength of the film

 Ordinary Love (2019)


Directed by Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn this film stars Lesley Manville and Liam Neeson. A middle aged woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, we see the strain the treatment puts on her and her husband.


I love that this film is not a melodramatic weepy but instead a really grounded, realistic look at cancer. So much of the script rings true to life. There are some great performances from the leads which are allowed to shine thanks to the low key direction.


4/5
