A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

watched on a 9 hours flight. Kill sometimes, turns out to be a very heartwarming movie... The main actress and actor played superb, the sensitive playing of both character make the romantic story quiet believing. Everyone in the movie played so well, romantic, sensitive with a touch of humor. Some of the photography of the nature scene are so artistic, single and elegant made. compare with Hollywood cliché the movie is just very different in every way. watch with ease, a quiet complicated story lines with several conflicts.. which reflects the reality in our current society. the first Danish movie I ever watched, love it!

As an American, sometimes it tough to watch a movie that doesn't feature at least one or two well known Hollywood actors. Granted, Pierce Brosnan is what lured me in - but it was Trine Dyrholm that stole my heart. There were several wonderful performances, and the locations and camera work were the icing on the cake.This movie weaves a beautiful tapestry of the struggles and triumphs of a family. It exposes the most vulnerable emotions we all feel in our own families.This was a well written movie. If you love beautiful Italian scenery, good dialog and the occasional dysfunctional family antic - then this is the movie for you. Relaxing, beautiful and a wonderful message.

When I saw that Suzanne Bier was the director, I decided to rent this movie on the spot since she directed my all-time favorite film "After the Wedding."However, 'Love is All You Need' is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. About the only thing is has going for it is the solid acting of the cast, which gives Ms. Bier their best efforts despite the vacuous story line. One implausible incident piles upon another, until the viewer has completely lost interest. The characters of Leif and Bennedikte (?) are so unrealistic that they are downright ridiculous. Leif is a dufus who is so heartless and stupid that he brings his young arm-candy lover to his daughter's wedding mere days after he's caught sleeping with her by his cancer-stricken wife, Ida. And Bennedikte, the groom's aunt, is a mean-spirited, cruel mother who publicly berates her daughter for obesity and goes so far as to try to teach the daughter to induce herself to vomit so she can lose weight.While the movie is lacking in plot and script, it is not lacking in immorality--an attempt perhaps to garner viewers who might be titillated by nudity and gay lovers making out.The only reasons I give this movie a '3' instead of a '1' are because the message is a positive one, and I thought the ending was nicely done. Also I believe Pierce Brosnan's wife died of cancer not long ago, so this was perhaps a subject that held special meaning for him.

There is a reason to be happy about Pierce Brosnen humbly accepting to play the role of Phillip .In America there are few models for doing grief work and few models for manhood.Phillip is a knight without armor in the way he sees Ida a cancer survivor as well as his gay son. His eyes see up to the skies and down to the seas. Mourning and melancholia is complicated and Pierce in real life has experienced this.I am reminded of the 12 step program: life is unmanageable, I cannot control things, I am not God and have to rely on a power greater than myself.Phillip could play God in this film. After all he is paying for his son's wedding and Ida asks him to read the letter regarding her final prognosis.Instead, Phillip reacts peacefully and humbly by making observations rather than emotionally reacting.Isn't that what adults do?I am still taking notes on how to respond to betrayals that have occurred for me over 15 years ago!Yes in the end, love is all we need and we either fall into His everlasting arms or not.I left the film feeling more love, joy and hope for the future!
