What she is saying goes way beyond the Anglican Ordinariate Liturgy to the heart of what the normal Liturgy of the Latin Rite should be. Liturgy must give people a sense of transcendence focused on God, not the local community.
An Example of the Anglican Ordinariate Mass which suspiciously like the Reform of the Reform if the Ordinary Form of the Mass I celebrated for the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist:

As for the Mass (we don't see a lot of it) it appears to be an ultra-Anglo-Catholic Solemn Mass which is basically the Tridentine Rite in English. Note the altar cards. Quite why the MC seats himself between the deacon and subdeacon is beyond me; but it is important that Ordinariate priests celebrate a) the Roman Rite in the Extraordinary Form which must be in Latin; b) the Novus Ordo of the Editio Typica Tertia in Latin or English or a mixture of both; c) an Ordinariate form of Mass which has the Recognitio of the Holy See. Anglo-Catholics have a long history of inventing eclectic 'liturgies' which reflect their historical and musical predilections. Quite often this was done deliberately to wind up the local bishop. It is, mutatis mutandis, akin to the ad hoc 'liturgies' so prevalent in liberal Catholic circles after Vatican II.
