PREVIEW: Love Is All You Need

Love is All You Need is a 2012 romantic comedy by Danish director Susanne Bier and starring Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm.

A love story and two families come together on the picturesque Amalfi Coast.  The fates of Philip and Ida two bruised souls are about to intertwine as they embark for a trip to Italy to attend the wedding of Patrick and Astrid, Philip's son and Ida's daughter.  This is a film about the simple yet profound pains and joys of moving on - and forward - with your life and will leave only the hardest heart untouched. 

This is a real adult romantic comedy, almost like Mamma Mia! but better! This film is subtitled, alternating between Danish, Italian and English, but the variety of languages doesn't stop the romance.


* Dyrholm has an unusual magnetism, the kind of face that seems open and unguarded, yet you can't figure out just what it is she's thinking - she and Brosnan share an excitingly adult chemistry.* 
TIME 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.*
