All of You (2025) Apple TV+ Film Review
Best friends for years now, Simon (Brett Goldstein) and Laura (Imogen Poots) may be the two people who know each other best, but they’re also the two people being most dishonest with the other. They don’t know how to speak of their unspoken feelings and so, Simon goes with Laura to take a test that is meant to, using science and DNA, find her soulmate. This matches Laura with someone who should be her soulmate.
Life goes on and the pair continue to pretend that everything is fine even as they ignore the obvious…

‘ALL OF YOU’: APPLE TV+’S NEW ADULT ROMANCE. Review of the #AppleTV+ drama. Share on XApple TV+ promotes this as being a “near-futuristic” romance which is odd in a way. Co-written by leading star Goldstein, the film didn’t get a lot of attention, which isn’t really new of Apple originals, but it’s not the “best” movie I’ve seen lately. I also think Apple TV+ seems to be establishing itself as the streamer that puts out productions that are (typically) darker than average or at the very least high on drama.
The film is very much conversational and has Imogen and Brett sharing a lot of conversation. That said, All of You is an odd mix that is disorganized, and really a little bit weird in places. Then there are places where the film feels real and more honest without any kind of odd attempt to be edgy. We are often wondering where we’re at and what’s going on even as the film transitions from one meeting to the next between Simon and Laura. What we understand is they meet up seemingly with years between. It makes for a kind of confusing plot.
At the end of the day, I didn’t like this film. I think it had potential, but it just doesn’t work in any way as the kind of romance drama that’s good. It’s way too “messed up” which is fine and some characters are messy, so the “study” of that through filmmaking is ok. But when it comes to a story like this, it’s way too destructive to feel interesting. As a result, I do applaud the ending. There’s more I could say, but I won’t.
Instead, I’ll say this, I’d recommend something like About Time or The Lost Husband if you want a slow, but interesting romance drama.

Content: this film has an R-rating and is heavy (compared to PG-13) on the sexual content (including scenes of characters having sex which also shows upper female nudity and backside male). There are about six scenes of (definitely) R-rated sex (they have sex on the floor and in bed along with other “positions” and kinds of sex) and undressing. We hear people casually talking about sex and what they believe about sex. Two people have a long standing affair. There is profanity which includes the F-word and lesser uses of more “common” profanity, too. There is implied drug use and talk about drug use often. Thematic elements crop up too which include big emotional things
