	Author	Review
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A defiantly odd piece of work, one that comes from a very unique sense of humor that works for most of its running time"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] is consistently funny in a pleasingly off-kilter way (...) [It] moves at a brisk but unhurried pace, incorporating a suitable array of digital effects for its fantasy theme without succumbing to the usual CG overkill"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A light but enjoyable horror/comedy/romance whose star deserves the exposure"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"The humour is low key, repeatedly mining the juxtaposition of the supernatural and the banal; a likeable performance from Maeve Higgins is the picture’s driving force."	POS
	Muriel Del Don Cineuropa	"Shored up by a perfect cast (...) [it] is packed full of hilarious scenes (...) which are never predictable, always intentionally light-hearted and decidedly refreshing. It’s a fine debut"	POS
United States	Matt Donato SlashFilm	"[A] uniquely lighthearted horror comedy that’s a cut above ordinary (...) Will Forte is a scene stealer"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There are belting laughs and great performances (...) It just keeps being funny while at the same time weirdly touching (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Paul Whitington Irish Independent	"'Extra Ordinary' is a bit frenetic but very amusing, and Higgins is at her deadpan best (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Sarah McIntyre RTÉ	"A wholly unique cinematic experience that is grounded with a lot of heart (...) A playful, warm-hearted, consistently funny watch that is bolstered by the incredible ensemble cast (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"The film's most valuable asset is Maeve Higgins (...) 'Extra Ordinary' is not always subtle, but most viewers will yield to its mystic charms (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Stacy Grouden entertainment.ie	"[It] is so delightful, it’s hard not to forgive some narrative clutter (...) Hilariously funny, with a fabulous lead performance from Maeve Higgins (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
