An entertaining film that spotlights relationships and the hurdles of expectations. All I Want pushes our range of emotions with an ensemble of characters that we can all relate to. The writing is thoughtful and sensitive. Thumbs up all around.

A touchingly beautiful musing on the complexity of life, love and relationships. A kind of 'Abigail's Party' meets 'Rachel Getting Married' with an Altmanesque multi-protagonist format, such as in 'Short Cuts', 'Nashville' and 'Gosford Park'. A really strong indie dramedy that is a delight to recommend.

First I thought it was bad acting, then thought it was poor plot, then I realized the millennial generation are so self obsessed they have cut off their parents, cut off their kids or typically don't have any, finally have "friends" notice that's in quotes because they don't really have any friends nor real relationships. it must suck to be them. rated one because this movie is just depressing

Wonderful movie about friendship and relationship choices. Funny and poignant story that is thought provoking about choices we make in adulthood. There is someone here that everyone can relate to.

This movie was fun and definitely not obvious. I love movies that require you sit through the end in order to piece everything together- this was no exception. The movie had me guessing several times- and I was wrong every time. That's a testament to the good / creative writing.

The cast definitely had amazing on-screen chemistry. All the characters really played well of each other. There was definite build up to a climactic end which is what makes a movie great.

I thoroughly enjoyed the lead actress and hope to see more of her in the future.

All I Want is one of those slice of life dramas that feels so real you'd think they read your mind! At least that's what it was like for me watching this great drama unfold. I love a solid ensemble relationship story and this was precisely that! It reminded me of those great ensemble movies like the Big Chill and St. Elmo's Fire in the sense that it's a tight knit group of friends dealing with the very real feelings underneath their social niceties. Highly Recommend this film!!

Just watched it on Prime this afternoon. My wife and I loved it. I was surprised at the announcement at the party. Great movie.

This was a great find for me. A diamond in the rough. Some really meaty subject matter in this adorable indie flick that delves into the heartache of divorce, not only for the couple but for their friends as well. The director did a wonderful job of balancing this heavy subject matter with some good comedic moments and light hearted banter. Great acting across the board and a very tightly woven script.

Remember when our parents used to watch that show 30something on TV? I'm pretty sure this is that for our generation. All I Want tackles what it's like to be in your late 30's/early 40's and facing all of the questions about what it means to be a grown up and how to live an authentic life. The filmmaking was great, as was the acting and music.

This is a pretty well acted dramedy about people moving on from a marriage of 10 years....and I think they thought it would be a fun thing to get all their friends together to let them know they are divorcing but realize they are not feeling as lighthearted as they may have initially thought. Thus ensues a bit of drama and a comedy of errors. There are highs and lows in the filmmaking, but when it was over it was able to get me to buy into theses peoples lives and feel a little emotional about how fast time feels like its going by once you're in your late 30s (which all of these characters seem to be...so maybe I am the mark for this). Was a good watch the girlfriend.

All I Want is about a group of people that gather for a 10 year anniversary and they realize tough truths about themselves, tell secrets and deal with challenges that their relationships face. Great ensemble cast. I reccomend this film.

A couple have an anniverssary party at their home. More description of the plot would not be helpful. Everthing about this film is thouroughly professional. The actors, although relatively unknown are all serious actors, especially the leads Center and Rausch. Center as the primary character, and co-writer really shines. Her on screen presence is a 10. The script shows what can be done on a tiny budget without looking cheap. The movie is almost exclusively shot at one house and its yard. Charm, good writing, and solid direction create a indy film really worth seeing.

This movie felt so real and relatable. This movie doesn't tackle huge issues or have special effects and explosions but instead portrays real relationships with flawed people. I found it very refreshing and really enjoyed going on the journey with the main characters. If you're looking for an indie about relationships and the difficulties of them check it out!

An enjoyable movie about the ups and down of having friends and relationships. I have to admit this is a handsome cast. I wish I had a group of friends that were that good looking. Well acted and nicely filmed.

What makes a drama like this work begins with a premise, and "All I Want" has a doozy. Anniversaries can be momentous times, and Mel and Drew supply the fuel for the moment. The theme here is broad yet simple: Where do we go from here? Of course, this gives rise other questions such as: "Did I make the right choice?" or "Should we have children?" Mix these weighty items with a sense of humor, and you have a thought-inducing, life affirming piece. Try it on for size; it may be your cup of afternoon tea.

If you believe in the importance of ensemble casts, then this film is for you. I've always loved films like "The Anniversary Party" and "St. Elmo's Fire", and this indie gem brings that same flavor. Drew and Mel feel like your next-door neighbors...they are so tangible and real.

Relationships are not easy, nor are making films about relationships, but this one flows seamlessly.

Very truthful and honest relationships driven film. The writing, direction and performances are all excellent. If your looking for a truthful exploration unit commitment and all the trials that go with it, then this is the film.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It has such a relatable approach to the complexities of relationships that I kept thinking "that's my life." I really identified with the protagonist and the journey of her marriage. And I really feel like I have been to THAT party! So much can happen in one night and this story took me on quite a ride. I got choked up at the end, truth be told. Really loved this movie. I could not stop watching!!

"All I Want" is an honest indie drama about the difficulties of adult relationships. Mel and Drew are having a 10th anniversary party at their house with their closest friends, but beneath the celebratory atmosphere we notice that their relationship is on the rocks. They don't seem to be the only couple who is dealing with challenges. Several couples are facing the challenges that are all too familiar to those in their 30s or so, like whether to have kids and generally keeping up with the Joneses. I have to admit that I've heard these conversations amongst my friends in real life, so the film feels like an authentic glimpse into modern day relationships at that age.

Several performances in the film are quite good and the chemistry, or intentional lack there of, amongst the wide ensemble of actors is evident as they play off of each other very well. I also appreciated that while the film is dealing with some challenging issues in relationships, the film also offers just enough laughs so that the film never gets too heavy and is consistently enjoyable. I'd highly recommend "All I Want" to anyone interested in an authentic drama about relationships.

West Liang is at the helm of "All I Want," directing an ensemble cast through the full gamut of relationship-driven dynamics in a film that's as thought-provoking as it is enjoyable.

As Mel, Melissa Center is the film's female lead, and she anchors things down in a complicated role performed with terrific aplomb. We soon find her at a party held on her behalf, as she's celebrating a 10-year anniversary with husband Drew. Some news drops at the party, and this serves as the driver for the film's storyline progression.

This is a great cast. They hold their own individually, and demonstrate cohesion as a group. Liang's story is real and allows her cast to breathe and find space in the film. It's not action or the proverbial great reveal that drives "All I Want." It's the convincing nature of its cast of characters living believable and interesting lives within the confines of a hugely believable film.

A good love story that keeps u intrigued to the end. Couple struggling to keep there relationship together and how there friends was there to help them through it. U don't know how much your relationship can effect your friends until u go through something like this. The ending still has me wondering if they worked it out. Might have to be a part ll lol. The two main actors carried the film well

A very sincere indie drama that deals with the different types of relationships we hold. The filmmakers did a nice job giving us different perspectives on what it's like to "adult" in this crazy world that's filled with complications and trials. I enjoyed it a lot.

All I want was a fun film with a great twist. I truly enjoyed this film. The storyline was relatable. It kept me enaged and caurious about the upcoming big accouncement. Director West Liang did a great job guiding all of his actors to deliver their best performances. The camera work, editing, & music were on point.
