The middle-aged romance between the central characters is a lovely thing, and that makes up for everything.
Mick LaSalle, Hearst Newspapers

Bier is daring to deal with both familial dysfunction and mature romance without painting either in the standard broad strokes.
Tom Long, Detroit News

We've seen enough romantic comedy to know these two are destined to fall for each other, but Bier is that rare filmmaker who can make you wonder if there will actually be a happy ending.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

Pierce Brosnan isn't the only reason to see Love is All You Need. He's merely the best reason to seek out Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier's entertaining if familiar romantic comedy.
