Love is All You Need

Denmark   Pierce Brosnan   d/ Susanne Bier

Domestic difficulties come to a head when the marriage between two families who have traveled to scenic Italy for the event comes undone.

Although the film is bound by creaky convention (eg meeting cute) it's done lightly enough to be engaging and entertaining. The focus is on the relationship between the bride's mother and the groom's father, both of whom are suffering from fate's arrows. The development of their relationship is handled with sensitivity and intelligence - even in the muddled scrum of the wedding gathering their emerging light shines.

Charming, old-fashioned filmmaking.
