Calum Cooper In Their Own League As a product of pure creative expression, “The Ordinaries” is a stellar achievement. Rated: 4/5 Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Though a clever take on the privileged, its fantasy parable is more interesting than entertaining. Rated: B- Oct 15, 2023 Full Review Nadine Whitney AWFJ.org The Ordinaries is a splendid and clever film which gives those who cannot speak a voice to display their perspective and suggests that beyond any façade is a truth that is more powerful when it is confronted and accepted. Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla An absurd, fascinating, and funny film that deserves more than one viewing. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Andiee Paviour Nobody's Reading This But Me Art-as-life is the proving ground of first-time director Sophie Linnenbaum's quirky German fable. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 6, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills This parable about prejudice and privilege is overlong at two full hours, but it’s clever, original, and aesthetically striking.
