Critic Reviews for All I Desire

All Critics (6) | Fresh (6)

Most certainly one of Douglas Sirk's lesser movies, All I Desire lacks some of the heart-rending visual flourishes of his masterworks, but it nonetheless remains a pretty solid piece of soap.

Sustained by wonderful performances, especially by Barbara Stanwyck, the story is engaging and develops in unexpected ways

All the flaws cannot be attributed to Sirk, who does fine work slicing up small-town America's bourgeois life.

[It] may be the most ironic statement on the disturbing allure of 50s suburbia that Sirk ever made.
