All That We Love

2024 1h 30m Drama List
100% Tomatometer 15 Reviews
Following the death of the family dog, Emma (Margaret Cho) is faced with an empty nest and is compelled to forge deeper connections with the people around her. Despite good intentions, her midlife awakening makes everything more chaotic for everyone in her path. This includes her estranged ex-husband Andy (Kenneth Choi), who has returned from Singapore after his career implodes and he's forced to moved in with his sister Raven (Atsuko Okatsuka); their free-spirited daughter Maggie (Alice Lee), who's relocating to Australia with her boyfriend (Devon Bostick) without Emma's approval; her best friend Stan (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who's also experienced a loss and is expressing his grief through a lifestyle makeover; and her work colleague Kayla (Missi Pyle), who fosters animals and may just have a four-legged friend to soothe Emma's woes. All That We Love is a heartfelt and poignant depiction of grief and what it means to start anew. Through richly drawn characters, the film gently blends sorrow with insightful humor in its exploration of themes that are universal to all of us: aging, friendship, parenthood, mortality, past loves, second chances, and the profound connection with our pets.

Angie Han Hollywood Reporter It’s the sort of well-meaning, well-worn sentiment that... depending on the context, might read as trite bullshit or a profound insight. All That We Love takes it as its north star, and turns it into the latter. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Samantha Bergeson indieWire Do we need to be reminded of the dullness of the day-to-day by a dull film? Not necessarily, but All That We Love gets points for trying -- and with a tight running time that doesn’t outstay its welcome. Rated: C+ Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Chase Hutchinson TheWrap Though some could easily groan, this is still understated enough to avoid feeling manipulative. Rather, it’s an honest glimpse into how loss sticks with us. Only when we face it can we find slices of peace and learn to enjoy the wind chimes again. Jun 9, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US This film successfully posits that it’s possible to find humor in seemingly solemn and isolating spaces, extracting a delicate and winning story in the process that’s great fun to watch. Rated: B+ Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Connor Lightbody Movies We Texted About a lovely soft dramedy whose saccharine, familiar beats never come across as cloying thanks to Tan’s deft hand keeping the tone grounded in reality. It is delicately handled, while perhaps too dramatically restrained to leave a stronger emotional presence Rated: 3/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Lissete Lanuza Sáenz Fangirlish All That We Love manages, somehow, to be both gentle and cathartic while also showcasing the selfishness and absentminded nature of grief.
