Extra Ordinary

An absolute hoot and one of the highlights of Grimmfest ‘19 for me. Loved it.

i went in blind and really enjoyed it.

A charming Irish ghost story that is consistently hilarious; but Chris de Burgh is definitely going to sue

It's a quant film in all the right ways, leaning into the trope of small-town people forced to deal with situations far beyond their ability, and it gets a lot of mileage out of just how completely out of their depth they find themselves. The humour is low-key and irreverent, but it doesn't rely on winking at an audience it assumes to be Irish – I would imagine most of the laughs will translate well to international markets. Some of the nuances will certainly be lost, but, by and large, the film is working with a broader palette by juxtaposing the supernatural with the utterly banal. And it works exceptionally well.

"Pumpkin, I believe it is time to face one of my biggest fears"
"Ducks?"

And I did learn about gloating - "you can never wake a floating goat" - good advice, in case that situation ever comes up

For anyone who enjoys things from Taika Waititi or his ilk, this is definitely worth a watch. It's a great bit of Comedy Horror

Surprised to see this was made in Belgium - it's full of Irish accents, and the wonderfully cast Claudia O'Doherty, playing an archetypal Australian woman involved in the occasional virginal sacrifice. Barry Ward was awesomely unrecognisable.

If Wes Anderson made a ghostbusters movie with dry humor, than this would be it!

I was lukewarm on this movie for most of it's run time mainly because it was never really _that funny_, Will Forte (in mustache mode) didn't really fit in and the plot threads didn't balance all that well - that said; the finale really made up for this so yeah 👍.

Very nice and entertaining movie. A very pleasant surprise. Intelligent dialogues and well-planned situations

With some good effects, a quirky sense of humour, and a spirited cast, this isn't a bad effort. However, it was never as funny as I hoped it would be, and there were times when it felt a little flat. Not extraordinary then, but still worth your time.

This is a cute little Irish tale of horror but not really. Rose is the daughter of a deceased expert on ghosts. She has special powers but doesn’t use them opting to run a drivers school. Chaos ensues when a man who is haunted by his wife’s ghost contacts her to learn how to drive but in reality needs his wife’s ghost exercised. Will Forte is a an evil dude who puts virgin spells on people. Not well explained... just watch it. It’s good!
