Love Is All You Need Reviews

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Susanne Bier’s work and for Pierce Brosnan, I thought I might as well give it a try. Somehow, it did reminded me of ‘Mamma Mia!’. Indeed, if you would remove the ABBA songs, most of the inane plot but still kept Pierce Brosnan for good measure, those movies are actually somewhat similar. Anyway, I thought it was not bad at all, at least, it was much lighter than most of the Scandinavian movies I have seen so far. Still, there was plenty of dark stuff and the makers went constantly going back in forth between some rather fluffy romance and some overly tragic stuff. This mix was quite bold and interesting but it didn’t completely work, to be honest. On top of that, I think that they were too many supporting characters, each having their own little sub-plot, and they should made some choices about what to keep and what to drop. Still, I thought that Trine Dyrholm and Pierce Brosnan were both terribly charismatic and they had some great chemistry together. To conclude, even though it was nothing groundbreaking, I thought it was a decent romantic feature and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Scandinavian cinema.

Surprisingly this movie expelled all my expectations. It was a simply good movie with nice characters and places, not an awesome-awesome one though. So diverse romance-drama told in the perspective of the elder people's beginning of a new relationship. It is a predictable plot so there's no surprise twists at all. From the director of 'In a Better World' this movie narrates the story of a widower and a hairdresser whose husband is cheating on her.

A widower businessman in his 50s probably is preparing to attend his son's wedding in abroad. In other side of the story a woman who successfully completed her cancer treatment as well getting ready to attend her daughter's wedding in Italy. In an accident these two meet at the airport. With a little discomfortable at beginning they start to like each other. For the sake of children these two must sacrifice what they have found within them. So the lives goes on as it forced them to move along with it.

Extraordinary performances by Pierce Brosnan and a woman on his counterpart character called Ida was awesome. I can't finish this review without mentioning the bride, she looked so pretty. Sadly it was not her story. The seaside locations in Italy were beautiful, played a crucial role in the movie's pleasant presentation. They shot it at the right season I guess because it was alluring. Everyone might not enjoy the movie because it deals about older people's romance and I am not old but I liked it.

From rejection to happiness in Sorrento. The place and the pleasures provided by Brosnan´s card (and by a glossy production) are too sparkling to be sad when the romance of the boys ends.
