Love Is All You Need

This is a Danish movie with English subtitles and some English dialogue.  This is the story of Ida (Trine Dyrholm), a hairdresser who loses her hair due to cancer and walks in on her husband having an affair.  This happens a week or so before they are about to fly to Italy to see their daughter get married.  On her way to the airport by herself, she runs into (literally-in a car) the bridegrooms father, Philip (Pierce Brosnan).  Philip is a widower who blames the world for the loss of his wife and becomes a work-a-holic.

Trine Dyrholm needs to be seen in more movies here in America as she is a wonderful actress.  She holds her own and even overpowers the more recognizable Pierce Brosnan.  Paprika Steen is also a wonderful actress in a bad role as the sister of the deceased wife of Philip, Benedikte who flirts with Philip.  Anders Thomas Jensen has written a beautiful screenplay with wonderfully developed female leads yet the male cast and youth are either under developed or under acted.

This was a romantic movie which I give two thumbs up mostly to Trine to hopefully propel to bigger and better roles and a bit to Pierce who is still as sexy now as when he played Remington Steele on TV in the 80's.
