while watching it you might be hit with the urge to grab the Danish writer-director by the collar and shout 'No, it’s all about story!'

Reviews for It's All About Love
A chilly romantic thriller that certainly doesn't make the point suggested by its title.
11/04/04
Vinterburg adds menace with cinematography, editing and direction that all hint at much more than we or the characters know.
10/30/03
There's nothing like the challenges of filmmaking freedom, it turns out, to deepen an appreciation for constraint.
10/27/04
Top CriticThe Danish director Thomas Vinterberg's tries and fails to spin a quasi-futuristic romance into a political allegory.
10/28/04
Top CriticThomas Vinterberg, one of the founders of Dogme school of filmmaking, has invented a fascinating futuristic world that is ultimately more interesting than the central plot.
10/28/04
A stew of silliness that's so ridiculous it's almost entertaining. Almost.
10/29/04
Impossibly glossy, the film claims to be all about love but its heart never makes a beat.
07/24/04
Quite simply, the film is a bore. A plodding, uninteresting, incoherent mess.
10/30/04
Irritates rather than entertains.
01/20/04
Top CriticA confusing succession of images, a plot with a vague resolution.
10/19/04
There's something inherently frustrating about the illogical plot and the breezy vagueness of its message, which seems to be linking the global freezing of a near-future world with the coldness in people's hearts.
10/29/04
Top CriticDissipates its premise in wildly unconnected subplots.
10/21/04
The shaky plot, heavy handed 'symbolism,' bad accents and a story line that had me walking the line between laughter and bored screams nearly made me get up and leave.
02/12/03
The deadpan weirdness occasionally slips into daftness, but with its brittle rhythms and puzzling ruptures, it's the sort of movie that could haunt your dreams for weeks.
10/27/04
Top CriticSurely, Vinterberg was high on some inert gas when he embarked on it.
10/29/04
Top CriticSadly, the movie's moral soon overwhelms the story, turning an initially intriguing thriller into a ponderous parable where the message is all too obvious and the medium is all too dull.
02/13/04
It’s like Kubrick with a talent-ectomy.
11/08/04
Top CriticViewers who feel like they're not getting the point of the story shouldn't feel bad because the actors also appear befuddled.
11/04/04
Top CriticDoesn't add up to much.
