Love All You Have Left

This indie film is really compelling and heart wrenching. The script is fantastic and the directing is great, especially for a first timer! A truly poignant and topical film.

At the outset, "Love All You Have Left" resembles a number of familiar stories (namely "Rabbit Hole") that depict a couple grappling with the recent death of their child and for a moment, it seems as if it will follow the same (albeit moving and tragic) plot we've seen before. However, Matt Sivertson's film ultimately subverts expectation and instead incorporates a supernatural (though not eerie) element, similar in vibe to the recent "A Ghost Story", that is quite welcome and full of intrigue. This twist coupled with some nice and very intentional framing creates a unique lens through which to examine the crushing pain a parent faces when their child leaves this world too soon. An intimate piece worth learning from.

A beautifully written and directed indie gem. The lead actresses are doing a stellar job in my opinion to capture the audience. I was hooked. This film is not about big revelations and blockbuster-y sci fi, but about subtlety and every day revelations, which can be, nevertheless, earth shattering. Specifically as German viewer, always careful if subjects touch on 2nd world war facts, I found the film one I'd highly recommend.

A powerful and beautiful exploration of grief, with brilliant performance and a thoughtful, poignant story. This film is heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time.

How is it possible to have reviews for exactly the same film that put it on top and at the same time in the sub-basement of any kind of interest???

...Maybe it's not such a mysterious thing.

To untie the dilemma, I propose this: after seeing the trailer for the film, it seemed to me a product so amateur and ridiculous that I have no intention of seeing this movie at all... Why don't you do this simple exercise yourself?
