nemod12 I categorize my movies for myself in different an maybe strange order. But everybody does these things the way they do to maintain order for themselves. I myself found this film very intriguing. For that i cannot understand it's low rating.In my town are 4 cinema's but only 1 brings out the more alternative films that just don't really fit the mass of the people. I do not feel myself more than anyone else. But when i go to see a movie in this theater i always feel that i am among most aware and intellect intelligent people. I do not have that in a normal cinema where the next batman film is been played. ( i liked the last 3 batman movies very much tho). But it's different.When i walked out of the cinema watching this film i had very mixed and strange feelings. I didn't really knew what to think or feel. And i think that is a good thing. It is not a microwave meal to take away.I can imagine that some people found the strangeness of the film a disappointment. Little example. When i walked out of this cinema some years ago, seeing eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, i had this same kind of feeling. Not exactly the same of course, but a certain kind of confusing that can be very cool in a movie.Please people, don't let you lead by the ratings and give this film a chance. There is some art in here.It's definitely not a very ordinary film, but for me it was well worth the watch and to be baffled. i hope i spelled that correct. See it and experience.

gskinner27 I guess you have to be pretty open minded and ready for weird things when watching this film... Although it is strange that people are dying in the streets, it adds to the message and emotional impact of the movie; the writer made the future seem like a colder place, then now, lacking closeness and love. For this reason people who do not have enough love are liable to die, "something to do with the heart". Although, strange, this is an interesting and completely original way of making a film about love. The two separated married couple, Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes, unite again to finalize their divorce, but end up trying to escape from a vast conspiracy happening within the Figure Skating Business of Elena (Claire Danes). In this escape, John (Phoenix) remembers his love between his ex wife, and they rekindle their relationship. But throughout the adventure there are struggles with Elena, whom is implied to be self deprecating because of the constant pressures of her career. However, the theme of love is broader than the couple featured in the film, the screenplay was written as if love is lacking in all parts of the world, causing temperatures to drop, and strange "flying" events to occur. Although these are weird and unusual things to connect with love, the writer made his point that he feels as if love is not taken advantage of in the world today, and may be lost further in the future. All these different events add to the theme of the lack of love in the world. Although the movie ends badly, as in the characters, although have found love once again, die in the cold of the snow, the message "Its All About Love" is re-enforced with Sean Penn's character. The character of Marciello isn't necessary to the film, but I feel adds a sense of reality, a detached family member, who isn't completely understood by the audience. And by giving this character the final words of the film, it allowed the audience watching to remain a little bit uncomfortable, since the character was not a familiar one. Overall, the entire film is a bit uncomfortable to watch because of all the weird events, and the emotional ups and downs. The two characters were from Poland, which was another thing that added to the film just having unnecessary things added to it. There are many situations in this film and added scenes, and mere details that are not completely necessary to the plot, or the flow of the story, which make audiences hesitant, or dislike the film. But in my opinion, it made the film unique, and more universal (meaning it deals with things all over the world in the film, not everyone in the world will understand it hah). The acting in this film was pretty good, Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes have done films where they were coupled before, and they really are believable. Sean Penn also plays his role perfectly, although barely in the film. The rest of the characters are odd, and sometimes seem like they are just reading lines, however this could be another aspect to the film and to the writer/director. Overall, really different, but the message, and the idea behind all the weird aspects, are really original, and an overall emotional, scenically beautiful, and unique film.

paul2001sw-1 Lars von Trier, who invented the minimalist film movement Dogme, followed up his own Dogme film with a musical. It's a sign that the ideas of the movement sprung from a general interest in how films are made, rather than a commitment to minimalism per se; and the same thing can also be seen in Thomas Vinterberg's post-Dogme film 'It's All About Love', which does have a certain minimalist aesthetic, but which is made with all of the tools available to the modern film-maker that the Dogme movement so consciously abandoned. And in spite of it's dreadfully uninspiring title, it turns out to be an interesting movie: stylised, beautifully constructed, and engagingly mysterious. Vinterberg proves himself to be a master of mood, creating scenes of a tender, haunting beauty but backed by a vague sense of menace. But judged purely as a thriller, the film is less good, because the menace and mystery never coalesce into something more certain, what we have here is images of a storyline, but no real story: things happen in sequence, and sometimes we are allowed to understand why, but it's unclear that there is a larger whole waiting to be discovered. Instead, we are presented with the illusion of fragments, beautifully executed (and Claire Daines in particular plays her role well), but without any necessary (visible or invisible) connectedness. The overall result could not be called great; but it is ambitious, distinctive, and directed with no little skill.

alan_wyper "It's All About Love" is without doubt one of the strangest films I've ever seen. Unfortunately, while some aspects are quite intriguing, the film as a whole turns out to be more pretentious than profound.Set in a near-future world plagued by highly unusual environmental phenomena, perhaps heralding a new ice age, the story takes James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis into the realms of psychological mysticism. For in this world, mankind's contribution to a changing climate does not derive from anything so prosaic as carbon emissions, but rather from an excess of human loneliness and alienation, and a corresponding absence of compassion and love. These same emotional shortcomings are also causing a spate of spontaneous deaths among the lonely and the loveless; so many in fact that pedestrians simply step over the bodies without a second glance.At the centre of the story are John Marshevsky (Joaquin Phoenix) and his champion figure skating wife, Elena (Claire Danes). As the film opens John is making a brief stopover in New York, where he is intending to finalise he and Elena's divorce. However, it soon transpires that Elena is in trouble. Her managers are plotting a very strange fate for her, and John is drawn in to helping her escape. In the process the couple find their love for each other is renewed.Unfortunately, the precise nature of the conspiracy surrounding Elena is underdeveloped, and not entirely convincing either, problems that afflict much of the rest of the film's plot too. Initially, it seems to be suggested that John and Elena's love is somehow pivotal to the world's climatic predicament, yet once their romance is rekindled it makes no discernible difference to the planet's descent into a deep freeze. There is also a seemingly superfluous story strand involving John's brother played by Sean Penn, who spends his entire time flying in planes around the world, providing a commentary on the changing climate.Nevertheless, the film does maintain a rather haunting, elegiac atmosphere throughout, which for the most part kept me engaged, even as the plot grew increasingly frustrating. It is a beautifully photographed film, and also benefits from an evocative use of sound.Yet in the end nothing can adequately compensate for the deficiencies of the story and script. Having suspended my disbelief in anticipation of seeing some answers, few were forthcoming and they were just not enough to cover the film's many bizarre conceits, not least the "flying Ugandans" (yes, you read it right). While I'm not someone who demands every nuance of plot or character be explained, this film definitely leaves far too many holes, and for that reason, although it is not without points of interest along the way, "It's All About Love" must ultimately be judged a failure.
