‘Ordinary Angels’ Review
Rated PG
Opens: February 23, 2024
Kevin says Ordinary Angels kinda rocks!
With superhero movies slumping at the box office, there’s a new film focusing on the heroism of everyday people.
ORDINARY ANGELS stars Hilary Swank as a woman searching for a purpose. She hears about a young girl needing a liver transplant who just lost her mother, so she makes it her mission to help the family.
While ORDINARY ANGELS falls into the category of faith-based films, it doesn’t lean too heavily into an evangelical push. This works for the story because it focuses on the strength of the human spirit, making it more relateable, rather than literally preaching to the choir.
The strength of this film comes a strong script and excellent performances, with Swank leading the charge. Nancy Travis from LAST MAN STANDING and Alan Ritchson from REACHER deliver the goods as well.
Of course, as uplifting as the film can be, it exposes some serious problems with the healthcare industry which can leave parents with impossible choices. But that’s a discussion for another day.
ORDINARY ANGELS is not for everyone and will be seen as corny by others, but it’s heart’s in the right place, and that counts for something.
ORDINARY ANGELS gets three and a half halos out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
