Village Voice
It's the sort of movie that could haunt your dreams for weeks. In the end, it is, as promised, all about love—this brave, foolish, improbably moving film's great achievement may be the utter sincerity with which it lives up to its title.

New York Post
A weird hybrid of cloning thriller and futuristic love story, with hints of "The Godfather" and "Ice Castles" - and it wears its disjointed nature like a badge of honor.

New York Daily News
Surely, Vinterberg was high on some inert gas when he embarked on it.

Entertainment Weekly
The experiment didn't work. The English-language production is a jumble of poorly delineated notions about love, celebrity, the look of romantic movies, and the sound of American-style dialogue - and it's been sitting on the shelf for over a year.

The New York Times
A cringing romance that Mr. Vinterberg tries and fails to spin into a political allegory.

Film Threat
There are so many things wrong with Thomas Vinterberg’s It’s All about Love that if I wrote them down, this would be a five page review that would sound like a spiteful rant.

L.A. Weekly
Vinterberg's execution is overstuffed, unoriginal and often downright incomprehensible. And what's Sean Penn doing dangling off airplanes -- pontificating, as usual, from a great height?

In 2021, the Earth is at the mercy of violent climatic alterations and unpredictable phenomena that belie the laws of physics. People have learned to live with crazed nature and are no longer surprised by the sudden snow that whitens American metropolises in the middle of summer or by the freezing cold that grips Africa, nor are they dismayed when they come across corpses lying on the subway stands or in listening to the bulletins that report hallucinating levitations among the inhabitants of the Third World. The story hangs in a virtuosity as an end in itself. An intellectual exercise on the genres of romantic drama and surreal thrilling that empties the most interesting ideas of the screenplay into an abstract visionary nature and disperses the talent of the willing performers.

Sorry, I wanted to like this because of the talent involved but it turned out to be a boring mess. Scenes plod on too long with no real point and the whole thing ultimately feels empty. It tries to come across as deep but it's really just incomprehensible.
