All of You

I loved this. It reminded me of an old school (think a ketamine taking Grant and Dunne) cinema romance. The main leads have a gorgeous chemistry and the banter between them feels real, hilarious and tender. The tale is as old as time with a little sci-if thrown in but the real strengths are the leads, the beautifully flowing script and the cinematography. It moved me. Isn't that what great cinema is meant to do? More please Mr Goldstein.

All of You has an interesting premise and I did like how the future was shown in small details like the soulmate test, biometric hotel doors, futuristic phones, even the oversized smartwatch. Those touches felt natural and hinted at how technology creeps into everyday life.

But the film itself was not easy to watch. It made me deeply uncomfortable. The female lead's behaviour clearly hurts people around her, yet the story frames it as inevitable romance rather than showing real consequences. There is one line where she admits "we're hurting people," but nothing in the story backs that up. The people who are hurt barely exist, and the harm is brushed aside.

Knowing it was written by two men makes this choice even more frustrating. It feels like they wanted to write a "messy, flawed woman" without really engaging with what that means. Instead of honesty, the film hides behind melancholy looks and glossy surfaces. Work and family conveniently disappear and adapt to characters needs. Money, no problem!

For me, the result was a film that looks polished but avoids the moral weight that would have made it authentic.

This movie is silly, morally questionable and naive. I have other words to describe it, but these are what come to my mind first. These two characters are best friends. We have seen this story before. It never works out when it's male and female. There is always sexual tension. It always turns out badly in the end. But these are just another two victims of that idea. You'd think they would know this.

I can't give away too much. All I will say is that we have two best friends. The woman is happily married, or so she say. And the guy is the one who refuses to be with anyone else. And it's not for lack of trying. In the end, things go haywire because they can't keep their hands off of one another.

I like the performances. I like some of the scenery and it has some great romantic moments. Along with some beautiful emotional moments. But the story is something we have seen so many times before and the characters become annoying at a certain point in the film. It's an average romantic drama, but I somewhat regret watching it.

I'd like to give this film the benefit of the doubt and think that the detestable nature of the characters was intentional.

I want to believe that exploiting two of the most ridiculous fantasies was meant to be sardonic: The classic fantasy of the SIMP trying to escape the friendzone.

The fantasy of the unfaithful wife looking to justify her promiscuity with the idea of, "It's fine because it feels good to me." The direction is good, and even the production design, though austere and very sparse, feels precise to me. The acting is solid, and the script technically delivers... but the characters... they're despicable, LOL! You've got the poor SIMP living in her shadow, her being immature and selfish, and the cuckolded husband with no backbone who'd rather look the other way... This movie definitely won't leave you feeling indifferent.

"All of You" is heart-achingly beautiful. The story delicately explores love, fate, and the choices that define us, leaving you both wistful and inspired. Brett Goldstein is incredible-not just in his performance, but for writing a story that feels so intimate, real, and emotionally resonant. The chemistry between the leads is electric, and the film's subtle sci-fi twist only deepens its emotional impact. A truly unforgettable experience. This one is going to stay with me for a while.
