Love Is All You Need?

I was tremendously impacted by "Love Is All You Need?"

The movie is based on a simple, yet brilliant premise where it's society's norm for same gender couples to date and marry. Heterosexuality is taboo and those that seek relationships with the opposite gender are bullied and ostracized.

It really made me stop and think about what it would be like to be outcast for falling in love with my husband. I can't even imagine people thinking I'm gross or disgusting because of my simple relationship choice. As I heard the characters in the movie being bullied for being "heteros" it make me stop and think how often I've heard people in our society "insult" people using the term gay or fag with disapproving tones. Especially when I was younger.

Blake Cooper Griffin's performance as Bill Bradley was intense. You could literally feel the anger, disgust and tension towards Tyler Blackburn's, Ryan character who had a torrid love affair with Jude Klein, played by Briana Evigan.

Director Kim Rocco Shields, went to great lengths to show how the church can impact an entire community, and Elizabeth Rohm plays the perfect villain, who you really want to smack with her perfect white family values nonsense.

I found the direction to be remarkable and the the cinematography to be stunning. I'd highly recommend checking out this indie film if you're in the mood for a dramatic love story with a twist. Especially with all that's going on in the world right now with LGBT issues. It really makes you see things through a different lens. Great conversation piece.

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED? is one of the most effective and touching films I have seen in years. It could have become a polemic so easily and yet this sensitive and touching screenplay draws real people and not political statements. When creating a world where sexual roles are reversed(and, therefore, so is the power hierarchy) the filmmakers could lead us down a road of tongue-in-cheek sarcasm. But that is not the case. These characters breathe on their own and not as some stereotypes created to make a point. And the performances of each and every actor finds the touch of identifiable humanity that makes this film so poignant. I do not know what film some of the reviewers here saw, but my experience was one of needing Kleenex for real tears for the first time in a very long time.

I just came here to See Tyler Blackburn. I endend up crying my eyes oh. So important and touching.. I wish everybody Would watch this Movie.

The point every reviewer missed is as I see it, the impact a religious leader can have on a town, by programming first , parents from day one what is right And what is wrong, and convincing them of her beliefs. Then it filters into the children On down the line with both church and parents blindly following along. Time and tim again these haters were carrying out what the pastor told them was wrong and they didn't know any different. Without the pastor life would have been more open to making your own decision Powerful movie with great acting by all the important people in the movie.

Love is all you need is truly one of the most inspirational films I have ever seen. Even if you are not a member of the LGBT community you will appreciate the artistry that went into making such a beautiful film. I didn't think before sitting down to watch the film that it would have such an impact on me, it made me cry non-stop. The film is so honest and makes you realize how incredibly cruel and ridiculous some people can be. I think this film can definitely be used as a learning tool to help not only future generations but this generation as well to have an appreciation for all things different because after all we are the same. I highly recommend the movie and I am so proud of everyone involved in making the film because it will impact the world in a big way
