All I Want Is You

I had never heard about this 2023 drama titled "All I Want Is You" prior to sitting down to watch it. However, I had an idea about what I would be in for here, as the movie just permeated a special vibe. Yet, I still opted to sit down and give the movie the benefit of the doubt.

Turns out that my notion and hunch was right, because writer and director Silk White delivered exactly that type of movie. And I can't claim that I am much a fan of this particular type of movies, so it was a bit of a challenge to sit through the narrative, especially when it was somewhat cringeworthy.

The character gallery and the dialogue throughout the movie was pretty caricatured and sort of stereotypical. So you're not in for any grand cinematic experience here.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. However, some of the acting performances were actually fair enough, while others were wooden and rigid. I can't say that there was any single performance that stood out in the movie.

Sure, there is an audience out there for a movie such as "All I Want Is You". I just happen not to be a part of that particular target audience.

My rating of writer and director Silk White's 2023 "All I Want Is You" movie lands on a two out of ten stars.

The plotline of the film is more episodic, with narrative ending on a cliffhanger and no true resolution. The tone shifts are too frequent, making it hard for rhythm to be established. Most of the elements that tend to be present in a White production are here, so those that take to his writing/directing style will be pleased. Some of the performers do solid enough in their roles, others below average. The camera work is decent but the exterior establishing shots gets annoying. There are a few sound editing issues throughout certain scenes. The music/score is generic and overdramatic. Enough elements involved to keep viewers entertained but as a piece of craft, is lacking in a lot of aspects.
