New Showbiz Analysis

All or Nothing presents a progressive social unit by emphasizing queer and female independence. The film avoids common stereotypes by making LGBTQ+ identity and female independence central to the emotional storyline. However, the production lacks racial and ethnic diversity, presenting a more uniform social environment. This limits the film's ability to challenge broader societal norms regarding diversity. Overall, the film offers a nuanced look at modern interpersonal dynamics, though it falls short in representing diverse cultural and religious backgrounds and disabilities.

Official Synopsis

Linda and Vanda, two good-looking women in their thirties, are inseparable friends and co-owners of a small bookstore in the city center. Linda is divorced, educated and practical, has a little daughter and a sense of responsibility. Vanda, on the contrary, is single and free, attracting men as a magnet, but none of them is able to keep up with her spontaneity. Edo, shy, sensitive, and introverted gay working with them in the bookstore, longs for love for ages too. The lives of this trio get finally tangled by several men, while everything turns up differently than any of them had expected.
