Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

OKi agree: it has several minutes with quite interesting/good ambient. Good photography, screenplay, actors, and so on. quite fascinating music, camera movement, and so on.mmm... tried to figure out how it would be without all that MONEY, without these fantastic actors, beautiful colors, music...and got nothing. Nothing at all.But, sure, you could do a really astonishing preview. all the rest... pretentious, naive...Enjoy...

An interesting film with a lot of multicultural context in it: American, European, Slavic, very international. Perhaps as only a good Danish producer can make it. The movie is very well-made. Vinterberg is great, never regretted watching any of his works. Festen is above all, of course. Sean Penn is always great, too. His role is like a modern demiurg observing the world from above flying over it on the board of an airplane... Just like the rest of the actors in this movie. I kind of don't really like Claire Danes for her Juliette in Romeo+Juliette 1996 role... The skaters remind about Dega's dancers. But anyway I'd definitely recommend to those who've not seen it to add it to their "pending" list and devote some time to enjoying it. Even if it leaves a bit puzzled there is more to this film than any regular Hollywood movie. It is smart, with an idea about rapidly changing world affecting people's hearts. There is a bit exaggeration but isn't that unavoidable in making a movie impressive enough to reach its audience? There are interesting sceneries, music that fits into scenes it is chosen for. It is an absorbing and strange movie that should not leave you indifferent. It is fun ;) If someone is expecting another dogma #1 it's not quite what you are going to get but if you shift your expectations to something like You the Living type of movie that is odd but leaves a lot of space for thoughts and feelings you'll definitely find pleasure in It Is All about Love. The spectator has to learn not to get the answers in the movie like in most American best-sellers but to develop own ideas, be a thinking man, considerate and understanding, aware of realities of life and what's beyond them.

I rented "It's All About Love" last night. When it was over, I hit "play" and watched it for a second time.This is a bizarre, ambitious, and uncompromising film. It is like a David Lynch film but without the horror. It is a basically a filmed dream.The director does not condescend to the audience by explaining everything or anything, which is probably why it got such bad reviews.From my viewpoint, the title explains what is happening in the movie. In this science fiction world, love is what holds the world together. Without it, the fabric of the world starts falling apart and people drop dead in the street, it snows in July, and people in Uganda start floating.This is definitely not a film for everybody. But if you are open minded and willing to go along for the ride, it is unlike anything you have seen before.If you are looking for a coherent plot and a linear story, this film is probably not for you.

I just want to warn anyone thinking of buying or renting this movie. Don't waste your money. Buy or rent something worth watching instead. I rented this piece of junk thinking it was going to be good based on the actors in the movie. The main actors in the movie are much better in other works that they've done and I don't understand why they would want to act in this waste of time. I guess they need the money.I'm telling you, this movie makes no sense from beginning to end. When it was over I sat there thinking, "You've got to be kidding me" "That's it? That's the end?" "Where is the explanation of what the Hell was going on in this movie?" Now, I know that it's supposed to take place in the future, but it's only the year 2021. I don't think that in the next 10 to 12 years people are going to become so uncaring that they will walk over dead people in the street without even giving it a second thought. Nor do I think that even the dreaded "Global Warming" will cause people to start flying or fresh water in a glass to freeze to solid ice while the rest of the room is still warm.I've read some of the other reviews on this board about this movie and they've tried to sound professional and said things like "it's a beautiful poem" etc. but I'm telling you this movie is just plain dumb.You've been warned.
