Review by Barbie Snitzer
Love Is All You Need is the clichéd title of an adorable, light romantic comedy that’s perfect for summer and devoid of even a hint of smutty humor.
If you think you’re having a bad day, a bad month, or even a bad life, consider the circumstances in which we meet the main character in Love Is All You Need, Ida (excellent performance by Danish star Trine Dryholm).
Behind her forced smile, Ida is maltreated by her boss at the hair salon where she works; the place itself is a cruel constant taunt. That’s because Ida, while styling others’ hair, has none of her own. She wears a wig because she’s been undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Although her chemotherapy course is completed, her pain continues as she begins the waiting game to find out if the treatment has been successful. After...

The temptation is impossible to resist, at first: Love Is All You Need! It’s like Mamma Mia! without the singing, and with breast cancer. Ida (Trine Dyrholm [A Royal Affair], who is exquisite in all ways) finds herself traveling alone from Copenhagen to Italy for the wedding of her daughter, Astrid (Molly Blixt Egelind), after she walks in on her husband, Leif (Kim Bodnia), boinking ditzy Barbie doll Thilde (Christiane Schaumburg-Müller); “I thought you were at chemo” is Leif’s pathetic excuse. Goofiness piles up from there: Ida literally runs into Philip (Pierce Brosnan: Remember Me), father of Astrid’s fiancé, at the airport... with her car; Leif decides to show up for the wedding with Thilde at his side (she insists she’s Leif’s fiancée); Philip’s horrid sister-in-law Benedikte (Paprika Steen: Forty Shades of Blue) takes over the wedding proceedings in excruciating -- though recognizably hilarious -- drama-queen style...

Susanne Bier brought her last film, In a Better World, to Tiff back in 2010, which went on to win the year’s Best Foreign Language Feature at the Academy Awards. Her next film, Love Is All You Need, sees her reuniting with the star of her last, Trine Dyrholm, who will star opposite Pierce Brosnan in the romantic comedy.
Bier’s latest feature was announced as part of the new additions to the Tiff line-up yesterday, and now the first English-language poster for the film has debuted online, along with a handful of hi-res versions of images that have already surfaced.
“Pierce Brosnan, Trine Dyrholm and Paprika Steen star in this sparkling romantic comedy from Academy Award® winner Susanne Bier (Brothers, In a Better World), about two very different families brought together for a wedding in a beautiful old Italian villa.”
Bier is also reuniting with past collaborator Anders Thomas Jensen,...
