Pierce Brosnan plays a rich businessman whose life is filled with anger because his beloved wife was killed in an random auto accident. Trine Dyrholm plays Ida, a married hair stylist who is battling cancer. Out these unlikely elements writer-director Susanne Bier fashions an entertaining and thoughtful movie. The chemistry between Brosnan and Dyrholm is intriguing (opposites attract) and genuine. This Danish movie has some subtitles, perhaps 20%, but that didn’t bother me. Much of the movie takes place in Italy. I’ve never seen Italy look so good. If you’re in the mood for an unlikely love story, give Love is All You Need a try. GRADE: A-
We liked it too.
Never heard of it. Will have to look out for it.
Patti, I was pleasantly surprised by LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED.
Jeff, LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED is worth a look.
Like Jeff, I’d not heard of it. I like Brosnan, wish he was still Bond. So, in spite of my dislike for subtitles, I may try this.
Rick, I’m sure you’ll enjoy LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED. Most of the movie is in English.
Sounds like a chick flick.
Bob, it could be your romance fix for the year!
Maybe. Does she get nekkid?
Yes, Bob, Ida gets “nekkid” in a very pivotal scene in Italy.
George, I like watching Brosnan’s non-007 films and will look out for this.
Prashant, you’ll enjoy this non-007 Brosnan film.
