Artist E @RT72874412 Nov 23, 2023 I vibed hard with their message. This ain't your typical coming-of-age deal, nah. It's got that today's-world flavor, which is a breath of fresh air 'cause times ain't the same as before. See more Kris Y @RT94786236 Jun 4, 2023 The Extraordinary Ordinary is a movie involving several troubled characters and their tragic pasts. It shows the challenges and struggles that people with mental health issues have to deal with within their daily lives but it does it in a relatable and very elegent way. Many of the characters are played like the girl next door which makes them relatable and realistic. I found myself connecting with the movies message because the characters are so down to earth and relatable. It is a different type of coming of age movie compared to what we have seen in the past and that's a good thing because today's world is nothing like the past. So if you're looking for a coming of age drama ripe for today's world, check out this movie. See more Jul 25, 2022 Glad I took a chance on this little indie. Well-made and well-acted.

There are very few movies that have the ability to do so and this definitely tops the list. It is moving and extremely intriguing to watch it with characters that are so relatable. See more Apr 5, 2021 This movie was very well done, it touches on different mental conditions like PTSD and bipolar in teenagers that are real and very heartwarming. The story focuses on a student that moves to start a new year in college, where she has to face her past and present colliding, in a way that she needs to face what happened in her past in order to be able to face her present and find her path into her future. You get to see drama, angst, love, and how to find a way to recover and learn to live with their mental conditions. How family is important as well as friendship. The characters are all very well portrayed, I like how they build each character to be very reliable and authentic. These are real-life situations and the way they captured all the situations and focus them into a college project. Trauma is never easy, teenagers face them every day and I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who is facing a mental health situation or knows someone. Sometimes they might not be opened to face it, but you can be there for them and wait until they are ready. The direction was well done, the acting was well-performed, the editing was on point and the screenplay was fantastic. Definitely a good indie film delivered by Natalie Rodriguez. Extraordinary Ordinary needs to be watched and spread worldwide. See more Jan 27, 2021 Heartwarming and relatable, cute little indie film. Very well paced and edited.
