All of You, the premiere and statements from the stars - video and interview

Imogen Poots and Brett Goldstein video and interview

Imogen Poots interview at the New York City premiere:

“I think we just have, um, we just really get on. We like being around one another. It's a really incredible thing to find with a co-star because it just makes the whole project effortless, you know, and it is a romantic story. Everything lives or dies by sort of how we are with one another. And I think, um, it helps the performances, too. Uh, you really want the best, you know, for your co-star and I think that just infuses the work on a whole other level, you know.

It was really nice being back in England. Because I've lived, you know, I live in New York and, um, it was really great to, to do, first of all, something that's kind of comedic, but also something in, uh, England and being the countryside and it was just really stunning. And like, no one actually stays in those places, you know? That's just like very, very luxurious. So it was very cool to sort of pop in, get to do those scenes.

I do believe that people come into your life and have a great impact. And I think we should afford a lot of importance to that. I think that can change kind of the course of your life. Um, and maybe that activates something in you where you kind of become more and more authentic and you end up living a more authentic life. Maybe that leads you to then meeting someone that you're sort of like supposed to be with. Uh, I don't know, it's all sort of unknown, right? But I would not take the test. I'm too much of a believer in the surprise element. That to me is what love is. I think love is just like a gust of feeling where you just didn't anticipate it."

Brett Goldstein interview at the New York City premiere:

"I think these things are sort of magic. I don't know. We, we looked far and wide for the right actor because I knew the whole film is dependent on whatever it is between me and the other actor. And, you know, and there are brilliant actors that you won't have chemistry with for whatever reason. And, uh, I met Imogen on a Zoom. I'd never met her before. I thought she'd be very serious because she's done so many serious films. And within five minutes we were laughing, crying, laughing, and I felt like I'd known her forever. And I was like, 'Oh, well, this is what the characters are. They're best friends. They've known each other forever.' So, I was like, 'Let's hire her and then we don't have to do any work.'

I'm fascinated by love and relationships and and the idea of, it's a endless, the idea's been with us for thousands of years, that there's one person meant for you. And it seems insane when you think about it that one person should be your everything. It's a lot of pressure on one person. They got to do a lot of work. And I also think life is far more complicated and people who've seen the film always say to me, 'I think it was about me.' They always think they relate to it because I think there's a truth about this kind of relationship where it's a friendship but there's something more to it. Is that love? Does that not count as love? What is that? And that's something we wanted to explore.

The thing that's interesting about it, I hope, is that I do believe it is such a universal theme. I think that anyone in the world could watch this and relate to it. And I guess we'll find out. But I think it's amazing, you know, over 100 countries are going to get this film. And I really hope it touches them in the same way because I think I believe people are, I mean, everyone's different and everyone's the same. And, uh, I think everyone wants love, everyone is striving for something special, some connection, and this film is all about that.

I would not take the test. Because, as Simon says, like, I like the journey, not the destination. But I say that now and I'm sure I might get to 60 and be miserable and alone, 'Go just give me the fucking test!'"
