Ordinary Love
Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville star inOrdinary Loveas Tom and Joan, a long-married couple whose lives are suddenly upended when Joan is diagnosed with breast cancer. But this film isn’t about the deterioration of their relationship or the amount of tears that the story can make you shed, but how Neeson and Manville’s couple share a genuine affection that shines through even in this short two-minute trailer.
Ordinary Lovemade its premiere in the official selection at TIFF, where it receivedrave reviewscalling the film “ravagingly honest,” “exquisite,” and “moving.” I wouldn’t expect anything less from a quiet drama starring the two actors whose best performances are subtle and understated.
Here is the synopsis toOrdinary Love:
Joan and Tom have been married for many years. There is an ease to their relationship which only comes from spending a lifetime together and a depth of love which expresses itself through tenderness and humour in equal part. When Joan is diagnosed with breast cancer, the course of her treatment shines a light on their relationship as they are faced with the challenges that lie ahead and the prospect of what might become of them if something were to happen to her. ORDINARY LOVE is a story about love, survival and the epic questions life throws at each and every one of us.
