All of You
Friendship, fate, and the cruel mechanics of love collide in All of You, a stirring emotional drama that lingers long after the final frame. Mixing quiet science fiction with raw human emotion, the film asks one of the oldest—and hardest—questions: What if the right person doesn’t come at the right time?
The Story
Simon (Brett Goldstein) and Laura (Imogen Poots) have shared a bond since their college days—one built on laughter, loyalty, and an undercurrent of unresolved feelings. When Laura takes a futuristic “soulmate test” and discovers her perfect match isn’t Simon, their friendship is shaken. Over years and life changes—marriages, children, careers—the two remain tethered by a thread that refuses to snap.
What follows is a deeply human exploration of missed chances, parallel lives, and the ache of almost-love.
What Works
Imogen Poots delivers a standout performance. As Laura, she channels warmth, longing, and vulnerability in every frame. Her emotional range anchors the film. Brett Goldstein brings subtle charm as Simon. He balances restraint and romantic frustration with realism, offering a grounded counterpoint to Poots’ more emotive turn.
Unique premise, beautifully executed. The concept of a “soulmate test” is used sparingly—it serves as a narrative device, not a gimmick, allowing the film to focus on emotional truths. Direction that feels intimate and mature. The film is full of quiet pauses, lingering glances, and lived-in silences—capturing how real connections evolve and sometimes unravel.
What Could Be Better
Pacing dips in the middle. The film’s slow-burn nature works emotionally but may test viewers’ patience in its second act. Timeline jumps can get confusing, especially with the story spanning over a decade. Some transitions blur rather than clarify. An emotionally restrained finale. The ending chooses reflection over resolution, which might leave some viewers longing for a firmer emotional payoff.
Verdict
All of You is a quiet stunner—a melancholic love story built not on grand gestures, but on the pain of unspoken words and misaligned timing. It’s for anyone who’s ever wondered “what if?” long after the moment has passed.
