It was a great story! It didn't have in the movie a clip that I saw on a preview. The people was shoveling in front of a plane.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

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.

Rated: 3/5

Helen O'Hara

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 3/5

Catherine Bray

Guardian

Taken on its own terms as an old-fashioned character drama and showcase for Ritchson as a dramatic actor (he’s genuinely really good), it does the job it set out to do.

Rated: 3/5

Brian Viner

Daily Mail (UK)

It's billed as a 'faith-based' film, which usually means saccharine or maudlin, but Swank gives it a measure of credibility.

Rated: 2/5

Hannah Gearan

Screen Rant

Despite a strong performance from Alan Ritchson, Ordinary Angels' chaotic editing style makes the film hard to connect with.

Rated: 1.5/5

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

I gather that, because it was based on a true story, the script didn't feel the need to explain why any of these character motivations made any sense.
