Ordinary Love
Academy Award® nominees Lesley Manville and Liam Neeson play Joan and Tom who have been married for many years. An everyday couple with a remarkable love, there is an ease to their relationship which only comes from spending a lifetime together. Their remarkable love is tested when one becomes ill, and the course of treatment shines a light on their enduring devotion, as they must find the humor and grace to survive a year of adversity. Liam Neeson returns to a dramatic role and Lesley Manville is hot off her Oscar nomination for Phantom Thread, and both give performances audiences won’t want to miss.
