Reception
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 85% of 10 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.4/10.[7]
Maureen Lee Lenker of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a grade of A- and wrote, "Apart from the sci-fi element of the soulmate test, it's familiar fodder for romantic drama, but it's of the highest caliber thanks to its sharp script and devastating central performances.... Watching All of You is like pressing on a bruise, and ooh, baby, it hurts so good."[8]
David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a grade of B- and called it a "small but sharp high-concept romance".[9]
Abe Friedtanzer of Awards Buzz rated the film 8 out of 10, writing, "[Brett] Goldstein and [Imogen] Poots are both terrific and would certainly be deserving of Golden Globe nominations or the like, but this film isn't likely to be a big awards contender unless it finds the right distributor and marketing angle."[10]
Steve Pond of TheWrap wrote, "Director William Bridges, making his feature debut after co-writing the film with [Brett] Goldstein and basing it on a short the two of them made 15 years ago, is pretty sure-handed with the comic elements that win us over before he fully commits to weepy moments and swelling strings. It makes the film another crowd-pleaser at a festival that has been long not on prestige awards-bait movies, but on interesting and satisfying audience films."[11]
Reuben Baron of AwardsWatch wrote, "If All of You is Bridges' attempt at making his own "Hang the DJ," it's an inferior one. It may connect with others more, but even with good acting and some decent humor, it didn't connect with me at all. And this is the last I expect to think about it ever again."[12]
