Movie #3316 ........................."Ordinary Angels" (on the plane to Europe)

 Movie #3316 "Ordinary Angels" (on the plane to Europe)  The next couple of films I saw on the long plane ride to Greece --- they  kept me busy during the flight.  One of the better ones was this based- on- true- events film with Hillary Swank, who is looking for a purpose in her life. and she finds it befriending a widower and his two kids, one very sick.  She decides the guy could use help in raising money for his sick daughter.  She plays here a flawed person, with "warts and all" --- unable to communicate with her own son, and an alcoholic.  Because of that, the film comes across very truthful, emotional and inspiring.  The high point was worth the wait.  I would rate it 4 out of 5.

"ORDINARY ANGELS"     2024     PG   1 hour and 58 mins

Inspired by the incredible true story of a hairdresser who single-handedly rallies an entire community to help a windowed father save the life of his critically ill young daughter.
