One of the most powerful performances of Lesley Manville's (‘Phantom Thread’) and Liam Neeson's (‘Taken’) careers, 'Ordinary Love' is one of those heartbreaking dramas that pierces the soul. And it's no wonder. After all, directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn invest in this heavy drama, which borders on melodrama, to tell the story of a couple who have to deal with a serious illness of the wife. It's the typical movie like ‘Side by Side’ or ‘A Proof of Love’, in which an illness guides the feelings, emotions and sensations of the narrative. There are some exaggerations and a lack of delicacy on the part of the filmmakers, who are also partners in the good ‘Good Vibrations’. However, in the end, emotion takes over the screen and the experience is worth it, especially for those who like a good drama, with good actors and a cast that gives itself to the story. To cry and be moved.
Love Actually is one of those Christmas films that never gets old and always brings a smile to your face. With a strong cast, with names like Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth and Emma Thompson, the romantic comedy intertwines different love stories, ranging from exciting to funny, from romantic to unexpected. Set in magical London at the end of the year, the film portrays ions, disagreements and unforgettable moments, all accompanied by a striking soundtrack. Whether due to the lightness of the script, the captivating characters or the irresistible Christmas atmosphere, this is a perfect story to watch (or rewatch) and let yourself be carried away by love.
