2020 has only just begun, but directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn (Good Vibrations) have already delivered my favorite film of the year. Ordinary Love, playing in theaters now, tells the story of a perfectly ordinary couple (Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville) undergoing extraordinary circumstances -- a diagnosis of breast cancer.

Someone please make Rose Dooley (Maeve Higgins) an honorary Ghostbuster! (And hopefully it would still be an honor even though she hasn't seen the movie herself.) Similar to the 1984 classic, Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman’s feature directorial debut Extra Ordinary is a brilliant mix of dry wit, unforgettable dialogue, heart and ectoplasm, resulting in an endlessly charming and highly re-watchable “ghost-busting” romp.
