Oscar-winner Hilary Swank stars in the tender drama Ordinary Angels, which screened last night for Unlimited members. The film centers on Sharon Steves (Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed Schmitt (Reacher's Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters. With his youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to help the family, even amid a once-in-a-generation snowstorm.

I’m not crying you are 😢 What an unbelievable story with so many twists, turns and obstacles! Hilary Swank still slaying and what a young star Emily Mitchell is! Spoiler alert, you may need tissues!

That was my favourite unlimited screening this year, words can’t describe how incredible that was! But I have to admit, I haven’t cried like that at the cinema in a long time! That really tugged on my heartstrings 🥺🥺 #OrdinaryAngels

Hilary Swank deserves another award I think - an emotional film, & nice to see Alan Ritchson playing a father figure & not having to shoot anybody 🙂

Like most based on real life stories things are changed a bit for tension & the audience, but mostly sticks to facts.
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
I knew I would cry, but I didn’t realise how much. Such a heartbreaking but also warming story at the same
