**New Film “All of You” Explores a Future Where Soulmates Are Guaranteed, But Happiness Isn’t**

In a near-future where finding “the one” is as simple as taking a test, a new film explores the complexities of love, connection, and the allure of guaranteed happiness. “All of You,” directed by William Bridges and co-written by Bridges and Brett Goldstein (who also co-stars), introduces viewers to a world dominated by Soul Connex, a ubiquitous corporation claiming to have scientifically cracked the code to finding your soulmate.

The film centers on Simon (Goldstein) and Laura (Imogen Poots), lifelong platonic friends navigating life in the shadow of Soul Connex. Laura, swayed by the promise of certainty, takes the Soul Connex test and is matched with Lukas (Steven Cree). While Lukas is a good man, the connection feels…lacking. As Laura settles into a life with her scientifically-ordained soulmate, Simon struggles to find a meaningful relationship, his unspoken feelings for Laura growing more evident.

“All of You” avoids the high-concept trappings of science fiction, opting instead for a grounded exploration of human emotions and the trade-offs we make in the pursuit of love. The film’s unique narrative structure, featuring time jumps and a focus on subtle moments, emphasizes the slow burn of unspoken desire and the quiet monotony that can creep into even the most “perfect” relationships.

Goldstein and Poots deliver authentic performances, creating a palpable chemistry that anchors the film. While the film’s sparsely populated world and repetitive rhythm can feel a bit long, they also serve to underscore the film’s central theme: that the elimination of risk and the pursuit of pre-packaged happiness can also mean the loss of spontaneity, passion, and the messy, unpredictable joy of genuine connection.

“All of You” challenges the romanticized notion of soulmates, presenting a world where finding “the one” is no longer a quest, but a transaction. It raises questions about agency, the nature of love, and whether safety and stability are worth sacrificing the potential for true, organic connection. It is a serious romantic drama, featuring two adult characters who don’t always behave well, who betray themselves and others, who sometimes don’t know what they want or need. They both reach towards something precious, which the corporate entity known as Soul Connex wants to obliterate: Organic connection and all the uncontrollable feelings that come with it.
