Strengths

Areas for Improvement

AI Analysis

All We Had functions as an intimate character study centered on a female protagonist's psychological development in New York City. While the film succeeds in offering a focused, female-led perspective that avoids traditional male-dominated tropes, it remains within a very conventional social framework. The narrative lacks intersectional breadth, relying on a predominantly white cast and traditional romantic structures. This homogeneity limits the film's engagement with broader systemic critiques or diverse cultural identities. Ultimately, the film is a traditional drama that prioritizes individual agency over social or political complexity, resulting in a narrow demographic focus.
