You can probably figure out where this film goes from there, but the journey is filled with such charm and the two have such wonderful chemistry I think you’ll enjoy it anyways.

Love Is All You Need is a different strand of romantic comedy that has been missing for some time; sweet, heartwarming and utterly dysfunctional.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 21, 2019

Don't go into Love Is All You Need expecting to be surprised or provoked. Go into it to experience the gifts of its lovely leading lady.

While [director Susanne Bier's] latest with frequent writing collaborator Anders Thomas Jensen is lighter than their previous works, such as the masterful After the Wedding, there's no mistaking the thoughtfulness at its core.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 19, 2018

A romantic comedy that isn't romantic or comic or much of anything.

| Sep 4, 2018

It's a sunny, uplifting and gently moving delight.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2017

[Susanne] Bier's intelligent direction, smart screenplay and canny casting make it a cut above your average middle-aged wish-fulfilment romance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 5, 2017

A simple but luscious romantic movie about a couple for whom love is anything but easy.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 12, 2016

While Love is All You Need is better than most films of its type, it's still unable to overcome the numerous cliches that come attached to such a story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 9, 2013

There's something about a free spirit, even in a movie, that makes everything and everyone around her feel more vibrant.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 28, 2013

I think Bier might be a little too acute an observer of human behavior to agree with the simple premise of her film's title, but she makes us believe it for a while, anyway.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 16, 2013

Lead actress Trine Dyrholm is the best thing about this pat, conventional comedy-drama of romantic reassurance for middle-aged moviegoers and their mothers.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 12, 2013

Buffeted by languorous Italian vistas and the emotional depth of the characters, the film falls more into the Nancy Meyers camp of rom com, in which relatable late-in-life romances are played out against sumptuous settings.

| Jun 14, 2013

The string of awkwardly hilarious family moments will provide plenty of laughs while also endearing the characters to viewers of this Danish romantic comedy...And the more serious moments make for a film that's also surprisingly poignant.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 14, 2013

Result: sufficient pleasure.

| Jun 13, 2013

This bittersweet, multilingual romantic comedy is just as fluffy and forgettable as its title suggests.

| Jun 12, 2013

Even if it's flawed by a few obvious clichs, Love Is All You Need still comes highly recommended.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 12, 2013

Don't think for a moment that postcard prettiness is all that this picture has going for it ... Susanne Bier has made a smart, winning movie that's tougher than many others in its field.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 9, 2013

The question isn't whether the two people at the heart of Susanne Bier's Love Is All You Need will get together, but how ... Bier demonstrates excellence in a genre where excellence isn't expected

| Original Score: 3.5 | Jun 7, 2013

The middle-aged romance between the central characters is a lovely thing, and that makes up for everything.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 7, 2013
