All I Want

An entertaining film that spotlights relationships and the hurdles of expectations. All I Want pushes our range of emotions with an ensemble of characters that we can all relate to. The writing is thoughtful and sensitive. Thumbs up all around.

This is a pretty well acted dramedy about people moving on from a marriage of 10 years....and I think they thought it would be a fun thing to get all their friends together to let them know they are divorcing but realize they are not feeling as lighthearted as they may have initially thought. Thus ensues a bit of drama and a comedy of errors. There are highs and lows in the filmmaking, but when it was over it was able to get me to buy into theses peoples lives and feel a little emotional about how fast time feels like its going by once you're in your late 30s (which all of these characters seem to be...so maybe I am the mark for this). Was a good watch the girlfriend.

This movie was fun and definitely not obvious. I love movies that require you sit through the end in order to piece everything together- this was no exception. The movie had me guessing several times- and I was wrong every time. That's a testament to the good / creative writing.

The cast definitely had amazing on-screen chemistry. All the characters really played well of each other. There was definite build up to a climactic end which is what makes a movie great.

I thoroughly enjoyed the lead actress and hope to see more of her in the future.

A touchingly beautiful musing on the complexity of life, love and relationships. A kind of 'Abigail's Party' meets 'Rachel Getting Married' with an Altmanesque multi-protagonist format, such as in 'Short Cuts', 'Nashville' and 'Gosford Park'. A really strong indie dramedy that is a delight to recommend.

Remember when our parents used to watch that show 30something on TV? I'm pretty sure this is that for our generation. All I Want tackles what it's like to be in your late 30's/early 40's and facing all of the questions about what it means to be a grown up and how to live an authentic life. The filmmaking was great, as was the acting and music.
