The Big Picture Nobody does scrappy and determined quite like Hilary Swank. Be it as a working mother who puts herself through law school in Conviction, a journalist trying to bring the murders of Indigenous women to light in Alaska Daily, a teacher overcoming odds to demand a classroom in Freedom Writers, or a fighter in a boxing ring in Million Dollar Baby, Swank has found her niche playing women who aren’t afraid to break rules and tradition to do what’s right.
Release Date February 23, 2024 Director Jon Gunn Cast Alan Ritchson , Amy Acker , Hilary Swank , Nancy Travis Runtime 116 minutes What Is 'Ordinary Angels' About? We start our story at the hospital where Ed’s wife, Theresa , is giving birth to their daughter Michelle . The two are clearly in love, with humor and their faith at the center of their marriage.
Enter: Sharon Stevens. We first meet her under very different circumstances, as she’s throwing back drinks at a bar and dancing on tables. She seems carefree and fun-loving, but her friend Rose is concerned about her, forcing her to go to an AA meeting. Though Sharon resists, a speech about finding purpose clicks with her while there.
Swank does her best with the material she’s given, breathing life into the thinly drawn character and adding dimension with pure charisma. The best parts are when we see just how smart and business savvy Sharon is, preparing Ed for job meetings and going up against the system to get his family’s medical debt erased. “Life’s about saying yes and then figuring out how,” she insists. One can’t help but wish the movie leaned into her fighting against the unfair healthcare system.
