An estranged couple are brought back together as they run for their lives in a future world where science as well as emotions have gone haywire in this sci-fi drama from director Thomas Vinterberg. In the year 2021, the world seems to have become a very strange place; an unexplained ailment is causing children to drop dead on the streets of New York, ice storms and floods strike major cities without notice, summer is marked by periodic snowfalls, and a strange hole has appeared in the Ugandan sky that causes people to loose the grip of gravity and drift off into space. In the midst of all this, internationally known figure skater Elena (Claire Danes) is getting divorced from her husband John (Joaquin Phoenix) after an 18-month separation. John has arrived in New York City to have Elena sign the divorce papers, but after finally making his way through her entourage, he discovers her to be unhappy and out of sorts, and she asks him to stay. John soon learns that Elena and her staff have a secret -- David (Alun Armstrong), her manager, has had Elena cloned, and now there are three duplicates of her to stand in if she should be killed or injured. John's discovery puts both him and Elena in grave danger, and they are soon on the run from David and his underlings. Meanwhile, Marciello (Sean Penn) ponders the unstable state of the world as he flies from one place to another after a heroic dose of pills designed to combat the fear of flying. It's All About Love received its North American premier at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    What a horrible attempt at trying to be clever. I rented this movie because I do so love the actors/actress in the movie, yet found myself feeling many things at the end. First, as throughout the entire movie, was confusion. I love sci/fi fantasy movies, but only when they have a point! Second, I felt as if there was something that someone forgot to put in. I feel like when this movie was edited, they cut some very important scenes. I had to go back and read the synopsis of the movie here online to even know what they were TRYING to do. All in all, waste of time, for the viewers and the actors. Dont bother to rent this.

    This is one of those films that looks great on paper and as an idea, but when it comes to executing it on film it just doesnt work. There are two many things going on at the same time and i just couldnt stand it. Yes there are good moments in the film especially at the end, but the writer failed to involve us the viewers especially when dead bodies were shown all through New York but no one explained why the human race was so used to them that they would merely walk over them.D-

    After the movie was over, I had no idea what it was supposed to be about. The storyline was broken. The acting was forced. Do yourself a favor, don't rent it. Waste of time.
