Ordinary Tenderness (French: Tendresse ordinaire) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Jacques Leduc and released in 1973. A meditation on the relationship between love and loneliness, the film stars Jocelyn Bérubé and Esther Auger as a husband and wife who have been apart for several months as he was away working in Schefferville; the film's narrative intercuts between his long drive home at the end of his work assignment, and her time at home impatiently waiting for his arrival.
The cast also includes Luce Guilbeault, Jean-Pierre Bourque, Claudette Delorimier, J.-Léo Gagnon, Plume Latraverse, Tiffany Lee, Jean-René Ouellet, Hélène Tremblay and Véronique Tremblay.
