Ordinary Angels Ratings & Reviews
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
The drama is pretty pedestrian; the storytelling is wantonly manipulative, and I have to say that I was manipulated against my better judgment.
Screen Rant
Hannah Gearan
Despite a strong performance from Alan Ritchson, Ordinary Angels' chaotic editing style makes the film hard to connect with.
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
On the other hand, although the approach to things may be too simplistic, the double Oscar winner Hilary Swank holds the entire scaffolding with her excellent performance. [Full review in Spanish]
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
If you want a better made version of a faith-based film, this could serve as that.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Manuel Betancourt
I gather that, because it was based on a true story, the script didn't feel the need to explain why any of these character motivations made any sense.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Thompson
Ordinary Angels takes the faith-based melodrama and injects it with the kind of empathetic energy that could wring tears from even the most godless among us.
Observer
Rex Reed
The dialogue is as simple as mud, but you can't ignore the value of a film that finally makes you feel good about the world.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The character's motivations don't gel and no amount of Swank moxie can make it work.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
I can't think of a single plot development that will surprise you and sometimes that's OK. Sometimes it's enough to sit back and settle in for a Comfort Viewing Movie...

Ordinary Angels is a true story and a remarkable one at that. Living with our two-year old granddaughter has made me especially vulnerable to dramas about young children in peril, and it didn't take long for this one to open my tear ducts

Nell Minow
Just because we know where a movie is going does not mean we don't enjoy getting there.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
This is unambiguously a faith-based film, but it's one that places its faith in people instead of a higher power. That doesn't make it good, but it does make it an interesting change of pace.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
Luckily Swank is on hand, almost singlehandedly raising the material to a level that keeps you wanting to watch. And sometimes, for a good cry at the movies, that's really all you need.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Despite its bona fides, the movie's narrative and characterizations practically gorge on clichés.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
No magic tricks, no ulterior motives, just the strength of people working together toward a common goal. It doesn't always happen like that, but "Ordinary Angels" is a gentle reminder that it sure is nice when it does.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"Ordinary Angels" has some of the feeling of an after school special, because it's a heartwarming movie in which everybody is nice. But it's more well-made than most.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
A do-good story about two lost souls who learn to understand and appreciate each other while the community around them comes together to achieve something that goes beyond their individual needs. This one earns its wings.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
This film starring Hilary Swank as a Kentucky hairdresser who rallies her community on behalf of a widower and his seriously ill three-year-old daughter proves irresistible with its powerful feel-good story.
Variety
Courtney Howard
What lifts the picture beyond average inspirational fluff is the way director Jon Gunn and company control the slow release of its sweetness so as not to overpower. Even cynics will be won over by the human kindness on display.
Washington Post
Jen Yamato
Ritchson is the biggest surprise of the movie. Sun-baked into worn denim and work boots, sporting a mustache and a lived-in twang, he's the anti-Reacher. A tender girl-dad to the ailing Michelle and her observant older sister Ashley.
