Critics Consensus

Undeniably slight and fluffy, Love Is All You Need is redeemed by its picturesque setting and warm performances by Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

A romantic comedy that isn't romantic or comic or much of anything.

metro.co.uk

[Susanne] Bier's intelligent direction, smart screenplay and canny casting make it a cut above your average middle-aged wish-fulfilment romance.

Rated: 4/5

Film Comment Magazine

Buffeted by languorous Italian vistas and the emotional depth of the characters, the film falls more into the Nancy Meyers camp of rom com, in which relatable late-in-life romances are played out against sumptuous settings.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

You can probably figure out where this film goes from there, but the journey is filled with such charm and the two have such wonderful chemistry I think you’ll enjoy it anyways.

Flick Feast

Love Is All You Need is a different strand of romantic comedy that has been missing for some time; sweet, heartwarming and utterly dysfunctional.

Rated: 4/5

Don't go into Love Is All You Need expecting to be surprised or provoked. Go into it to experience the gifts of its lovely leading lady.

Despite the beautiful Italian scenery and the efforts of the Danish actors, this film totally missed its goal. And you would completely blame the A-actor Pierce Brosnan for that. His portrayal of Philip, the high achiever businessman who falls for the working class hairdresser, was everything but convincing. The two stars for this film, go entirely to his antagonist, Trine Dyrholm. By the end of the film you still hope that sweet Ida will find true love; Don't be fooled by that lemon-guy, darling!

An amusing, gentle and warm love story with beautiful scenery, much better than the usual romcom. I really wanted everything to turn out right in the end!

This movie has it all: beautiful scenery, characters that you'll love and hate. It's touching and funny, with a beautiful ending.
