Ordinary Love (2019)

In the words of one of the directors of the movie, this is a “love story about the small moments and big challenges that go to make up the journey of a long time love”.  Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville play a couple who have been a long time together, and have seen a number of ups and downs together.  Now, as they face one more big challenge, the movie opens a window to their day to day existence.  As one would expect in real life, there is a lot that is routine and mundane about their interactions and conversations. There are moments of joy and sadness and everything in between.  But through it all, the movie presents a portrait of comfortable intimacy that can only come with deep rooted love that doesn’t have to be demonstrated to be acknowledged and understood.

Here’s a clip from the movie.
