Village Voice
It's the sort of movie that could haunt your dreams for weeks. In the end, it is, as promised, all about love—this brave, foolish, improbably moving film's great achievement may be the utter sincerity with which it lives up to its title. - 63
New York Post
A weird hybrid of cloning thriller and futuristic love story, with hints of "The Godfather" and "Ice Castles" - and it wears its disjointed nature like a badge of honor. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
A stew of silliness that's so ridiculous it's almost entertaining. Almost. - 38
New York Daily News
Surely, Vinterberg was high on some inert gas when he embarked on it. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
The experiment didn't work. The English-language production is a jumble of poorly delineated notions about love, celebrity, the look of romantic movies, and the sound of American-style dialogue - and it's been sitting on the shelf for over a year. - 30
Variety
The director doesn't display the spirit of a natural entertainer; while intellectual notions abound, he never grabs the audience by the hand to pull them into the tale emotionally. - 30
The New York Times
A cringing romance that Mr. Vinterberg tries and fails to spin into a political allegory. - 20
Film Threat
There are so many things wrong with Thomas Vinterberg’s It’s All about Love that if I wrote them down, this would be a five page review that would sound like a spiteful rant.
