All My Loving (Geschwister) (NR)

synopsis

Edward Berger's quiet, generational drama All My Loving centers around the Hoffman siblings, who are each forced to make decisions that will ultimately lead to emotional maturity. 41-year-old Stefan (Lars Eidinger) is a wealthy pilot who spends most of his life in transit. He is almost a caricature of toxic masculinity, flaunting his Porsche, swimming pool, and roster of beautiful women, but his superficial existence comes into question when he gets sick and his troubled daughter deserts him. Meanwhile, 44-year-old Julia (Nele Mueller-Stofen) takes a trip to Italy with her husband in an attempt to save their relationship. While there, she encounters an injured dog, which becomes her singular focus and provides a welcome distraction from her marital problems. Tobias (Hans Low), 34, is married to a successful businesswoman and has three children. He is trying to finish his doctoral thesis, but when the Hoffman siblings' father falls ill, Tobias is forced to assume the role of family caretaker while putting his own aspirations aside. In recounting these three tales of Hoffman, the film does not spoon-feed likeability to the audience; instead, it introduces deeply humanistic flaws that allow viewers to identify with the characters and root for them to grow into better versions of themselves.
