MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Love Is All You Need?" is not only an incredibly pretentious title, it is also a 20-minute short film by Kim Rocco Shields from 4 years ago. The premise in here is that the world actually discriminates against heterosexuals and not homosexuals. At least, this is probably what Shields had in mind. However, this idea was totally lost in execution here. The outcome looks more like something along the lines of where not only the premise I just mentioned is true, but also where the world is apparently controlled by radical leaders and there are probably many more ugly things about it that weren't depicted in this movie.The world in here has nothing to do with our world. The vast majority of people here in our world is tolerant in terms of homosexuality and that is a good thing. Of course there are certain very misguided groups of people who still oppose the idea, but these are minorities and they can or will never have the power to actually treat it in a way heterosexuality is depicted in this movie. School children beating the crap out of homosexuals? School directors publicly speaking out against it? Parents hating their children for their sexual orientation? This is not the 21st century. This movie is pure fiction and tries to make a parallel to a reality that does not exist. It is a failure. The film's low point was probably the ending with the suicide scene. I never get why all these gay-themed short films almost never have convincing subtle story lines. It's always over the top, in your face and just fairly ridiculous. Bad movie and it's quite a joke this apparently gets turned into a full feature film. Highly not recommended.
elevu Yes it is fairly low budget and the acting is not "perfect" however if you are straight like me and ALLOW yourself to go there, to imagine this world exists and put yourself in the shoes of if you were gay and the outcast and the loneliness and the pain that could occur. If you allow this to happen within you, you may have an awakening like I did.I live in an area that is predominantly Christian and people often only act Christian when it is easy to do so. The real test is to see others out in their daily routine. Let me say this, there are few actual "saints" out there. I bawled like a baby watching this, especially towards the end.If this movie moves you, share it!We need to LOVE people. This world needs it desperately. Even a smile can change someones day.
Demonicaura This is such a powerful and emotional movie that everyone should see because it just goes to show what everyone in the LGBT communities goes through everyday just because they go against what is considered to be social norms. There is a high rate of death among the LGBT community because they are bullied for just for being themselves. This was such a powerful movie that brought me to tears the first time I saw it because it hits home for me. I lost two of my friends because of bullying. Both of them committed suicide because apparently they thought that only in death would all the pain go away. This story is almost identically to what one of my friends went through only she wasn't gay, she was transgender. She was teased and tortured by fellow students all throughout high school but it wasn't until she was outed at work that things took a turn for the worst. I don't really think the ending was right for two reason; one, suicide is never the answer and two, the ending should have been extended a little bit more to show the repercussions that her death might have had on the community. Putting all that aside, I thing that everyone should see this movie because maybe then they might have a little more appreciation and understanding of the LGBT community and what they go through on a daily basis. I also think that with an alternate ending to the film, this movie would make a wonderful educational video that could be shown in all the classrooms, maybe then it might help to end bullying in our schools. Overall this was an excellent movie and I will definitely be recommending this movie to all my friends and family.
Gordon-11 This film is about the experience of a young girl who is bullied because of her sexuality."Love Is All You Need?" depicts a world where homosexuality is the norm. The young girl got bullied in school because of her heterosexuality. In just 20 minutes, we see hate, bullying, violence, betrayal and intolerance. What the girl went through is so heart wrenching and tear jerking, that I am sure it will touch every viewer's heart. All these unacceptable attitudes are portrayed very effectively, making it clear that homophobia in the real world is as absurd as the events portrayed in the film. Acting and production are uniformly professional, and I applaud the filmmakers for making this thought provoking short film. I hope it will help spread tolerance and acceptance towards people who are different.
