Han S Apr 4, 2019 All That Heaven Allows is rushed in its first act and somewhat unsubtle in execution, but it's still a commendable romance thanks in no small part to its very progressive portrayal of an intergenerational couple and the struggles they faced during this period. It also feels and looks incredibly cozy owing to a beautiful imagery and a charming tone to it. As for Jane Wyman, she carried the entire movie on her shoulders and delivered one of the best performances of this year. See more

Jan 26, 2019 The best romance movie ever made!

Luke S Nov 10, 2018 A perfect and one of the definitive melodramas of the 50's, with the color cinematography that is just overwhelming: it's like a painting rendered alive. You just watch the change of the colors as the mood of emotions flows and changes, it's absolutely adorable, only for that alone it deserves the highest mark. The direction is flawless also, the composition of every scene is perfect, and actors do excellent job, they are living their characters. Special recognition deserves Jane Wyman, her Cary is 100% believable character, she's just as perfect to watch as the cinematography, her doubt and change of thoughts is traceable on her face and in sudden half-movements that are stop dead right at the beginning. A wonderful picture, for all times. See more

Hagrid R Dec 28, 2017 A film from 1955 that in its own way formed the basis of the modern television drama. The love story of a rich, widow Cary Scott (Jane Wyman) discovering love and marriage all over again with her young, working class gardener Ron Kirby (Rock Hudson). It seems like forbidden love especially with the prying eyes and petty meddling of Scott's supposedly grown up children and her rich High Society friends. The film is colour and features excellent sets, compositions and costumes. In fact it's not bad for a 1950s love story. A prehistoric soap opera! See more

Leia R Sep 11, 2017 The second of 2 movies director Douglas Sirk worked with Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman with the first being the Magnificent Obsession. Wyman plays Carey who is attempting to move on with her life after losing her husband eventually falls for her young gardener, Ron( Rock Hudson) despite their age difference and despite some opposition from both friends and family.

Rey W Jul 24, 2017 All That Heaven Allows is an incredible film. It is about an upper-class widow who falls in love with a much younger, down-to-earth nurseryman. Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson give fantastic performances. The screenplay is well written. Douglas Sirk did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. All That Heaven Allows is a must see. See more
