Critics Consensus
With a dash of grace and circumstance, this sweet display of humanity is stabilized by Hilary Swank in a role that plays to the heartstrings of all Ordinary Angels.
Audience Says
Ordinary Angels is an engrossing fact-based story that packs in some humor, some intense drama, and enough tears to take up a box of tissues.
Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) 04/30/2024 The drama is pretty pedestrian; the storytelling is wantonly manipulative, and I have to say that I was manipulated against my better judgment. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 04/26/2024 The film’s more overtly Christian elements, including calls for divine intervention, dovetail neatly with Sharon’s yearning to be held, supported and, ultimately, forgiven. Go to Full Review Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine 04/25/2024 The performances are solid and the story is touching — and perhaps that will carry this to its chosen audience. But it's a little flat for true drama. Go to Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios Jul 29 Gunn crafts a deeply emotional and compelling drama about redemption, selflessness, and the extraordinary lengths strangers will go to in times of crisis. Go to Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 02/04/2025 An overly sentimental faith-based drama about ordinary people who do extraordinary things to help others. Considering the genre and its audience, it's a little more than just passable.

Synopsis Based on a remarkable true story, ORDINARY ANGELS centers on Sharon Steves (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed Schmitt (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters. With his youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family and will move mountains to do it. What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels.
