Time Out London Trevor Johnston
The cliché-averse will doubtless resist, but the laughter and tears here are never less than fully earned. A lovely film.

The Telegraph Robbie Collin
Love is All You Need has been made for an audience rarely catered for by the film industry: intelligent adults who enjoy perceptive and good-hearted drama.

As Love Is All You Need goes through the motions of drawing its central couple together, Bier delivers nothing more than a well-made, strictly middlebrow entertainment with a bittersweet polish that's easy to enjoy and forget in equal measures.

The Hollywood Reporter David Rooney
While virtually everything that happens in this grown-up rom-com can be seen coming a mile off, Danish director Susanne Bier's assured touch and warm regard for her characters make the film both pleasurable and satisfying.

Village Voice Zachary Wigon
Formulaic despite its trespasses, Love Is All You Need leaves the lingering sensation that more fun could have been had if the film cut loose and lived a little.

Variety Leslie Felperin
Corny as a vat of polenta, but still rib-sticking enough to satisfy those who like lightly seasoned, easily digestible cinematic starch, Italy-set Love Is All You Need offers a romantic comedy for middle-aged palettes.

As every sub plot, reveal and character... err, caricature that is, gets stacked on top of each other, the more inevitable it is that the whole thing will come tumbling down. And while Love is All You Need is by no means a disaster, it simply can't support all that weight.

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw
It looks weirdly like a romcom pastiche, not cynical, but not properly inhabited; it doesn't taste of romance or comedy any more than Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup cans taste of soup.

Time Out New York Keith Uhlich
The sole saving grace of this treacly middlebrow dross is the naturally sweet chemistry between Brosnan and Dyrholm. In the few scenes in which they're alone together, wistfully recalling the past and discussing various misfortunes, you glimpse a much deeper movie.
