Hansen-Løve largely focuses on how, despite the great distance and difference of perspectives between the two, a chance of forgiveness and reconciliation is still there; that the passing of time can still heal the wounds these two have. And this is what eventually gives the film tenderness and sense of hope, despite its tragic premise.

What are critics saying?
All Is Forgiven is engrossing, yet it is only after it is over and there is time to think about it that the film starts to really seem dazzling, as an unfolding portrait of loss that leaves us with many questions.
The New York Times by Glenn Kenny
The atmosphere the director creates, once fully breathed in, has an emotional gravity that becomes devastating as it settles.
While its succession of emotionally loaded moments never crystallize into a vivid whole, the strong performances and highly effective use of music should put audiences in a forgiving mood.
Perhaps the most persuasive aspect of this hopeful parable of failure is the way casting, acting, script, and camerawork conspire to usher us into an immediately believable world which is observed with a painterly eye yet never seems staged.
RogerEbert.com by Sheila O'Malley
It's one of those rare films where the title has real meaning, one that grows in power the moment the credits roll.
