All of You is a sci fi romance about destiny and choice. The story follows Laura (Imogen Poots) and her longtime friend Simon (Brett Goldstein), who must deal with the idea of a “soulmate test” that could change their lives. From the start, the film feels gentle and emotional, but it also struggles with its own big ideas.
One of the film’s best parts is the chemistry between Poots and Goldstein. Their connection feels natural on screen. Poots especially brings warmth and energy to her role, giving the movie moments of life.
But the film is too slow. Scenes drag on and the same emotions are repeated many times. The editing also causes problems. Time jumps are confusing, and some transitions feel rough.
Another issue is that the sci fi idea is not used well. The “soulmate test” seems more like a hook than a true part of the story. As the film goes on, it turns into a normal relationship drama, while the sci fi angle fades into the background. Because of this, the premise feels wasted.
The film looks and sounds fine but nothing special. The music score does not add much either. The writing has flaws too. The dialogue often feels stiff, and some emotional scenes do not feel earned. The story keeps repeating itself, leaving the actors to carry the weight.
Poots is charismatic, but she cannot save the film. Her performance is strong but it is not enough to fix the slow pace and weak structure. The film has ambition, but it does not fully succeed.
In the end, All of You sits in the middle. It has real moments of emotion and good acting, especially from Imogen Poots, which make it watchable. But the slow rhythm, repetitive storytelling and underdeveloped sci fi idea stop it from reaching its potential. It is not completely bad, but it is clearly disappointing.
