All I Ever Wanted

About This Movie

All I Ever Wanted has this quirky charm that really catches you off guard. The pacing is pretty laid-back, allowing the characters to breathe, which feels refreshing in a rom-com landscape that often rushes through things. Christine, the lead, is this relatable teen, obsessed with the idea of romance, but the twist of her crush being a girl adds depth to the narrative. It’s got a nice blend of humor and heartfelt moments, and the performances, while not groundbreaking, carry a certain authenticity. The atmosphere feels very youthful, almost like a warm hug of nostalgia, which I think a lot of viewers could appreciate. There's a bit of practical effects sprinkled in that gives it a unique indie vibe, which is always a plus.
