Rubski T It was by random luck that I happen to see this movie. I really didn't have much expectations but was I in for a surprise. The story while simple and straightforward really was beautifully woven and respectful of each character. The biggest revelation for me was Skeet Ulrich's portrayal of Ray Singleton. It was sweet, sincere, complex, layered and unpredictable. Just when you thought he was one thing, he makes a small gesture, a twitch, a movement that makes you realize the silent waters that run deep in this man's soul and that he's more intelligent and more observant and infinitely loves - than Livvy gives him credit for. For someone who grew up so isolated and at such a period of time, he actually sees a much wider view of the world. What a beautiful character and Ulrich embodies Ray like no other. His restraint is effortless. What a job well done! This will go in my collection as one of the finest I've seen. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Nina E I have now watched this small gem twice in three days. I was especially interested in the nuanced acting by Skeet Ulrich - subtle and believable. Keri Russell is also to be commended and the rest of the cast was solid. I was unfamiliar with this until I watched it and it is a story that supports that there is goodness in a world where we make mistakes. That resonated with me as did the title. This is an under-rated film.

One of the best movies I have ever seen.

I've now watched The Magic of Ordinary Days three times, mostly to see nuances missed the first two times. This movie was well written, the actors gave great performances, and it leaves you wanting to revisit the characters in ten years. I just love it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review ellen m I loved the sexual tension between the pretty, sophisticated Livy and the very gentle beet farmer Ray. A beautiful love story with beautiful scenery, plot and characters. Clean and comforting. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Basically a chic-flick, but a sweet predictable story.
