Audience Member Actually like this movie and ended up watching it twice. It's strange and contorted. I've thought about it philosophically overall many times. It's much deeper than the surface relationship of the characters. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member "It's All About Love" is full of good intentions and promising surreal moments that are never fully realized in an entertaining way. Worth the viewing if only for Anthony Dod Mantle's brilliant camerawork that finds the compositions swaying left and right, thus creating a permanent state of unease. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It is possible that "its All About Love" portrays a future world where everything is so fake that it goes beyond shallow to people intentionally being created as frauds to perpetuate the lies and the individuals are so brainwashed and drugged as to not even know that they are disposable fakes. They don't realize that they are all insane in one big fraud perpetuating machine of a world that they cannot perceive the world as it really is. The movie says that, even so, Love can still exist even if no one is sure what or who they are loving. In the end, the lover's do not know where they are going or why, but die together trying to get there together. I do not believe that even the news shows truth, 2 min of freshwater freeze everywhere, people flying without wanting to in Uganda, weather unrelated to the seasons, no one seems to know what day it is. With a drugged, fake, insane existence, what do we have left for ourselves, but some agreement between 2 people that they have love, even if they have nothing left, not even life. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm trying to pretend this never happened, I wouldn't want a misstep as big as this to ruin my love for Thomas Vinterberg's films, which are nothing like this one by the way. In a world were people die on the street for some unexplained heart condition and no one does anything about it, a man (Joaquin Phoenix) with a strange accent visits his wife (Claire Danes) to get her to sign divorce papers, but they seem to still love each other and so they play like little kids and he watches her and her clones ice-skate. Meanwhile, Sean Penn is on a plane blabbering about love (also in a strange accent) and has no interaction with any other characters. He's just writing a letter on a plane that is about to crash. Thomas Vinterberg's films aren't really known for their technical aspects, but for their emotional aspects. I couldn't feel anything at all during the whole movie, there really wasn't anything good in it. I really loved "Dear Wendy", which is one of his lesser known works and thought this could be a good film, I was wrong. I actually hadn't seen a bad film of his, they're either great films (Festen, The Hunt), fun and original (Dear Wendy), or at least worth a watch (Submarine). Stay away from this film, watch any other film by Thomas Vinterberg but not this one. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member It's more about boredom. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member About as poetic a conspiracy theory film can get. It's nevertheless a dreary depiction of life in the near future, although given the corporate greed depicted maybe it will one be viewed as prophetic. There's a number of elements in this film that cause consternation, such as Sean Penn's character that as deep as he is as a narrator, seems unnecessary - as is the strange weather system that offers style over substance.
