The film, a mature and sincere love story, speaks about the need for genuine feelings, understanding the modern world the hustle and bustle. Leigh suggests that it is worth stopping for a moment and think about what is really for all of us the most important.

All or nothing is moving and penetrating portrait of a modern family, whose members, affected routine, fatigue and continual lack of time, slowly distancing themselves from each other. It is a film about the pitfalls of everyday life, longing for fulfillment, and also with small gestures and decisions that we closer or move away to what is most important in life. Mike Leigh masterfully shows how easily get lost in life, but at the same time that you can find in the other. The director talks about the thin line divides the feeling that it has everything ... or nothing.
