Set in Poland during the last years of the soviet era, âAll that I Lovedâ is the tale of Janek and his three friends. They dream about starting a punk band and escaping the oppressiveness of their surroundings, all in the middle of adolescent turmoil.
A too familiar tale of teenaged drifters and their rebellion, this movie is slightly redeemed by the fact that the characters are in fact rebelling against a totalitarian society. Still, itâ(TM)s all so very predictable and lacking in originality that the societal aspect doesnâ(TM)t manage to shine through brightly enough.

Despite the fact the movie was set in the '80s, the most favorite settings of Polish filmmakers, which normally puts me off (as if the presence was hardly ever worth filming), I really enjoyed it this time. Coming of age theme - well done, the love theme - well done, social turmoil from the teenage perspective - once more - well done! Great images, pretty nice soundtrack (punk music aside) and I have to admit - Kosciukiewicz can act. Although he should drop that eye expression he's struggling to make, don't know if he's just trying to imitate some other actor or this is his image... either way, it's not working. All in all, a Polish production worth watching. That's rare.

Not quite art school, but also far from the utterly useless trash that's been plaguing many of Polish cinemas. Formulaic, but delivered with a focus on quality. Some shots feel like they're being tried on for effect, borrowing from western cinema, but they are excusable and few in numbers. Most interesting is the placement of the story - on one hand, Janek's playing about liberty, with his mom in Solidarity, while on the other he respects his dad, a member of the communist party and a navy officer. On one hand there are dunes and the sea, and all they represent, while just next door, the frame is closed off with not so distant echoes of the Gdynsk shipyard.
The film takes place on a precipice and softly demonstrates the kind of a balancing act that was needed to stay atop a monumental edge. It can be read in many ways and should be well received by a number of audiences.

A non trivial story of freedom, love, death and desire. it is an interesting way to show what was Polish reality around year 89 and how things happened for simple people.
