I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The greatest movie ever made..!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

OKi agree: it has several minutes with quite interesting/good ambient. Good photography, screenplay, actors, and so on. quite fascinating music, camera movement, and so on.mmm... tried to figure out how it would be without all that MONEY, without these fantastic actors, beautiful colors, music...and got nothing. Nothing at all.But, sure, you could do a really astonishing preview. all the rest... pretentious, naive...Enjoy...

The most disappointing thing about "It's All About Love" is that its concept is actually quite interesting (if very simplistic): the world is literally freezing over due to a general lack of connection between people. Some of the details of this futuristic world are very atmospheric and beautifully shot -- the double-decked airplanes; all fresh water freezing once a year; people regularly dropping dead in the street; Ugandans, inexplicably and infamously, floating. Unfortunately, these details -- easily the most memorable part of the film -- are only mentioned or shown occasionally, and then drowned in an unnecessary and irrelevant plot.It's as if the writer took this dystopia of his and decided it needed more action in it. He then added, not one, but two plots: the first, a more-or-less relevant story about a husband and a wife rediscovering their relationship; and the second, a completely bizarre and utterly unoriginal "twist" story about clones -- a story that has been done and redone so often that it's impossible not to laugh at. Sadly, the film ends up focusing, not on the dystopia or even the love story, but the clones, and thus loses any hope of being interesting. The twists, the "bad guys", the love story, and the dialogue become as generic as can be.Apparently, the screenplay had been first written in Dutch, then translated to English. As a non-native English speaker, I can sympathize, but that doesn't make the awkwardness and stiffness of the dialogue any easier to deal with. It also doesn't help that the actors continually seem to be reading their lines out loud, like in a high school play, instead of saying them for the first time. Though this would be natural in a world that is so cold and disconnected, having the two main characters speak in the exact same way really doesn't help make them different or sympathetic at all, though they're obviously supposed to be.All of the (Polish) characters float in and out of an accent (it doesn't sound like a Polish one, though); this inconsistency is disconcerting enough, but why make them Polish at all? Was it to depict the alienation of immigrants? Then, this doesn't work, because none of them ever even speak Polish. They all act like second or third-generation immigrants, but still have the accents. Why? The actors themselves seem lost as to why they're there at all. Sean Penn is unbelievably dull, and his whole character unnecessary (his purpose is to repeatedly shove the Important Message of the film down viewers' throats); Claire Danes has nothing to do but look pretty and cry -- a total waste. And as for Joaquin Phoenix, this is the only film of his (and I've seen them all) where he is utterly uninteresting. His usual passion, humour and intensity are lost here.Had the film focused more on its own atmosphere, relying less on action and dialogue and more on its cinematography, its music, and its actors, it could have actually been very beautiful. The entirety of the plot, however, renders it tedious and incredibly frustrating. This could have been a fascinating short film; or one of those perfect "slow", "European" films that most people (not me) love to hate -- then it would have at least been earnest. But as it is now, it's just underdeveloped, emotionless and icy... just as awful as the world it tries to portray.

I can't in any way comprehend how can someone say that he/she can't understand this film. If you have more than 16 years and you didn't understand this movie than you should never touch a film from now on and comment on IMDb as if your opinion matters in some way.This movie is a ultimate work of art.. a masterpiece. If you didn't understand it than make the good choice.. watch it again and again and again, until you will get it you **** or kill yourself.. Because of you this film has a overall note of 5 and this kind of films will never be made because you ***** represent the majority, the public...Whatever, if your IQ is higher than 5 than go see this movie. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.11 out of 10. a masterpiece

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.
