Audience Member Love All You Have Left is about a grieving mother who has recently lost her daughter in a school shooting. While mourning, the mother is visited by a girl who claims to be Anne Frank. Love All You Have Left has a bold and unique story about dealing with seemingly insurmountable grief. I recently became a father, so stories about the death of a child have had a larger impact on me of late. Obviously school shootings are becoming more and more common these days and I think strike fear into just about every parent as well. The film certainly resonated with me. When I watch independent films, I look first and foremost for unique and compelling storytelling and this film definitely had that. If you're looking for an original drama, I'd highly recommend checking out Love All You Have Left! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Matt Siverton is the writer/director behind Love All You Have Left, a beautifully filmed tale that's as ambitious in its storyline's conception as it is in its successful on-screen execution. Remarkable in premise yet elegant in its telling, Siverton's film incredulously allows us to discover Anne Frank in the attic of a modern-day home. Indeed, this is the very same journaling Anne Frank forced to live in an attic in terror alongside her family during World War II, only to be discovered by the Nazis just weeks before their war machine crumbled. Siverton's film first introduces us to the sadly beautiful Juliette, played with wonderful depth and pathos by Caroline Amiguet. After the death of a daughter at the hands of school shooters, Juliette soon discovers a girl living in her attic. And from that discovery, pain is both relived and reconfigured. Through beautiful writing, cinematography, and exceedingly fluid editing, Love All You Have Left reminds us that grief is simply the most brutal, crushing attribute of the human condition. And in an end that in no way disappoints, Siverton also reminds us that not only can we persevere after loss, but that finding a way to do so is nothing short of our life's work. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Love All You Have Left is an amazing story of hope. I am grateful to the author for this story. I like it very much. The actors are good. Sara Wolfkind is very expressive and talented actress. The couple is very nice too. I would say, it is a wonderful ensemble at all. What they do is an example of a classical style of acting, which is great. I like how the film director works with details. Books, toys, flowers - all these are elements of real life, and it is very nice to see that there are no special effects in this film. We can see live human communication, sympathy and how people can support each other. I also like the philosophical metaphors. They shows the characters' inner world and help to understand the message of the story. I was impressed of wonderful work of the director of photography. Music is also beautiful. I would love to see more stories from the Matt Sivertson and his team. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
