FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/all-of-you-review/

"All of You is a conflicted movie. It possesses an intriguing premise, captivating dialogue, and two superb central performances from Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots.

However, it's sabotaged by a repetitive structure and by protagonists whose selfish and hypocritical actions make a true emotional connection almost impossible. It's a film about the complexity of love that, ironically, feels too simple in its refusal to explore the moral consequences of its characters' choices, resulting in an experience that's more frustrating than moving.

It serves as a mirror for our own hesitation, reminding us that the biggest "what if" in life is often the love we didn't have the courage to fight for."

Its a film that really asks why? But more of u...
