What to Know

Critics Consensus

All or Nothing's depiction of the working-class can be depressingly bleak, but the performances are wonderfully true to life.

Anton Bitel Little White Lies 11/19/2021
Leigh cuts between and through the potential soapiness of these different family dramas to show a broader mosaic of the human condition, defined by birth, death, and all - or nothing - that happens in between. Go to Full Review John Anderson Newsday 05/28/2003

For close to two hours the audience is forced to endure three terminally depressed, mostly inarticulate, hyper dysfunctional families for the price of one. Go to Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 02/16/2021
In any event, the great strength of Leigh's best work is the sensitivity and utter seriousness with which he approaches the external and internal lives of his characters. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 01/20/2013

Jennifer C @RT32921196 08/10/2024 Most boring movie I've ever watched. Maybe it's my adhd but I can't stand it. And it's annoying to me. See more Rosana B @RosanaBotafogo 02/24/2024 Gostei da forma didática como o filme foi conduzido, uma narração mansa e oportuna, deu uma idolatrada de leve no protagonista, na verdade não tão leve assim... O ar circense também deu uma leve ridicularizada não só no personagem como em sua trajetória... Um chacota apocalíptica e quase divertida, porém insosa... Quase consegui sentir pena dele, mas só tive a certeza de que Deus coloca anjos no caminho em forma de amigos, e sempre devemos escutá-los.... See more 05/01/2020 This film is riddled with wretched, pathetic, hopeless losers. Jeez, these people. Never knew Corden looked like that, but it adds to the slovenly mess of a human he is. Are these people your general viewers will like/care about? Most likely not, but the actors- Manville (always so good), Spall (houndog as hell), Sheen, Mays as a right hooligan meathead, and a hot young Sally Hawkins- take what would be morose overkill in the hands of lesser players and transcend that ill fate. With Leigh's assured guidance, All or Nothing and its cast bring to life people 'real as few movie characters ever are' made for a movie which, while you may not see it again, you know is a quite worthy film made by skilled artists just doing what makes them great. 3.7 stars See more nefasto r @Nefasto 04/20/2018 A painful watch. Not much more to say about it. What gives beauty to this work, is the same thing that makes is difficult to watch.
