Love Is All You Need

Love Is All You Need (Den skaldede frisør, 2012) is a Danish romantic comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Susanne Bier brings together two damaged people at a wedding in Sorrento — a city that has a way of making grief feel slightly less permanent.

Ida is a Danish hairdresser who finishes chemotherapy, walks in the front door, and finds her husband with another woman. She boards the plane for Italy anyway; her daughter is getting married, and there is no good reason to cancel. At the wedding villa she runs into Philip — the groom's father, played by Pierce Brosnan. He is wealthy and guarded, carrying a loss of his own that he has never let anyone near.

Trine Dyrholm and Brosnan anchor a film that is warm without being sentimental: lemon groves, Neapolitan light, and two adults rediscovering that starting over is not the same as giving up. Stream Love Is All You Need (2012) online on iFILM.
