Apple TV+ Just Quietly Released One of the Best Melodramas of 2025 With 'Ted Lasso' Star

In the age of algorithms and dating apps, finding the perfect partner is one of the most relevant issues. Recently released on Apple TV+, All of You offers more than just a beautiful love story – it provides a profound and nuanced exploration of modern love.

Created by the screenwriter of Black Mirror and the star of Ted Lasso, this movie avoids clichés, creating one of the most sincere and poignant melodramas of the year.

What Is 'All of You' About?

The story takes place in the near future. Scientists have developed Soul Connex, a revolutionary test that guarantees a 100% match with an ideal partner.

Laura (Imogen Poots), takes the test and is matched with Lukas, the man who is destined to become her husband and the father of her child.

However, Laura's best friend, Simon (Brett Goldstein), is skeptical of the test and hides his feelings for Laura for years. The film becomes a story about choosing between a scientifically calculated destiny and the unpredictability of true feelings.

'All of You' Is Made by Black Mirror Screenwriter and 'Ted Lasso' Star Brett Goldstein

William Bridges, known for his work on Black Mirror, wrote and directed the film. Brett Goldstein, who portrayed Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, played one of the lead roles. The creative team spent a decade working on the project, and that dedication is evident in every scene.

Bridges brought philosophical depth and dystopian topics, while Goldstein delivered emotional warmth and humanity. Goldstein's character, Simon, is a modern romantic in a world where emotions are being replaced by algorithms.

'All of You' Is a Touching and Sincere Melodrama about Modern Love

All of You avoids the formulaic nature of typical Hollywood melodramas. It's more of a spiritual successor to projects like Normal People – a slow, melancholy story woven from unspoken words, meaningful glances, and awkward touches.

The movie masterfully illustrates how people can conceal their feelings for years out of fear of jeopardizing existing relationships.

The main thing here is not special effects or a high-concept idea, but the characters' emotional truth, their doubts, and the agonizing choice between safe calculation and the risk of true love.
