I absolutely loved "It's All About Love". Not for the story line, which as others have commented on is problematic and less then obvious, but for it's haunting beauty. It's a movie that feels as though you are watching it... Full review

I have just watched "It's All About Love", and while I generally appreciate the recent Danish slew of art movies, this was one that just didn't do it for me. I was bored throughout most of it. Parts I got, other... Full review

'It's All About Love' is a true oddity. It feels almost like someone recorded all the strange ideas that came into their head for a week, and chose a common topic, i.e. 'Love', and wrote a screenplay from their notes.But... Full review

If Dogville shows the new directions taken by Director Lars von Trier since Dogme, It's All About Love shows the very different creativity of Dogme co-founder Thomas Vinterberg. John (Joaquin Phoenix) is planning to meet his wife Elena between flights... Full review

Before I went to see this film, I had read a lot of reviews that said that it wasn't good; it lacked a properly fleshed-out story, it was too superficial. After I saw it, I could understand why the reviewers... Full review

I loved "The Celebration" and was very disappointed when I saw this at Sundance. In brief, this suffers from the same delusion as "Eyes Wide Shut": namely that implication = meaning. There is implied tension, implied sexuality and an implied... Full review

It's the kind of concept you'd find in a Ray Bradbury short story, and one that's handled relatively well. Problem is, the entire movie is informed with this dread, so one is on a slow winding ride down the mountain. ... Full Review

For his follow-up, Vinterberg has made "It's All About Love," the anti-Dogme film, a $15 million production shot in glorious widescreen and with loads of dressed sets and costumes and special effects. Quite simply, the film is a bore. ... Full Review

The garbled futuristic fantasy It's All About Love stars Claire Danes as a famous ice-skating star, Joaquin Phoenix as her estranged husband, Sean Penn as a man forever on an airplane, and studios in Sweden as New York City in 2021. Then, having mastered the rules of that game, Vinterberg celebrated by overdosing on frankly fake frippery in his follow-up feature. ... Full Review

Sure, 'It's All About Love' is great to look at.....The dialogue (with the exception of Sean Penn's fleeting scenes as John's brother) is weak and witless, the story slow....It's written and helmed by Thomas Vinterberg, the Danish director best-known for co-founding the less-is-more doctrine "Dogme 95" with countryman Lars von Trier.....Lead characters bright enough to consider actually taking some warm clothes and supplies with them when they fleeing across a frozen wasteland..... ...
