    Love is All You Need has been made for an audience rarely catered for by the film industry: intelligent adults who enjoy perceptive and good-hearted drama.

    The cliché-averse will doubtless resist, but the laughter and tears here are never less than fully earned. A lovely film.

    Irresistibly entertaining and beautiful to look at it, the film is pleasant at worst, and – at best – wisely defies its slapped-on American title, a warm reminder that love isn’t a solution so much as it’s a brilliant way of embracing life’s problems.

    Formulaic despite its trespasses, Love Is All You Need leaves the lingering sensation that more fun could have been had if the film cut loose and lived a little.

    Love is all you need is a captivating and enchanting film. A romantic drama that, for once, is honestly written with believable characters and situations the result of which is an emotional joy that only the most jaded cynics will scoff at. Of course there are a few contrivances and cliche's (the cheating husband is the most glaring culprit), but director Susanne Bier elicits beautiful performances from her entire cast with Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm leading the way. Returning to Italy after the debacle that was 'Mama Mia', Brosnan turns in arguably his best ever performance and Dyrholm is just radiantly wonderful. I have to say that I really had low expectations for this film, but it is a total delight. You also get the ending you want and one the film earns.… Expand

    “Love is All You need” stars Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm in this semi-foreign language film with its locations in both Denmark and Italy.aly. Perhaps the third star of the film is the Amalfi coast of Italy where most of the scenes take place. To those who have experienced this magnificent part of the world, and even for those who haven’t, the photography is breathtaking as the camera takes us into the lives of the characters in this romantic comedy ably directed by Susanne Bier (“In a Better World”) with a wonderful screenplay co-written by Ms. Bier and Anders Jensen. As good as Mr. Brosnan is in the film, and he is, none of the players can meet or even come near the superb acting talents of Ms. Dyrholm who captures and dominates each scene she is in. The best that can be said of any quality foreign film is that, in recalling it, the viewer forgets that there were subtitles and that a different language was spoken. This is not a remake of Mamma Mia with songs and virtually no plot. Instead, to the background singing of Dean Martin, Ms. Bier creates a delightful cinematic experience despite the serious problems, both healthwise and domestically, that the principals encounter. I give this film an 8 and suggest that those who see it will be glad they did. … Expand
