Would you let an algorithm decide your love life? Apple TV+'s trailer for All of You dares to push that button—and then breaks it in half. Premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and later at London, William Bridges' first feature arrives on September 26, 2025, as both a swooning romance and a sharp little blade aimed at the idea of “soulmates.”
Goldstein (yes, Ted Lasso's Roy Kent himself) plays Simon, a man who's been quietly in love with his best friend Laura (Poots, radiating that mix of fragility and steel she does so well). When Laura takes a clinical test that promises to reveal her true soulmate, the results cut Simon out of the picture. The two drift apart. They circle back. They keep finding each other at weddings, funerals, late-night clubs—milestones that feel borrowed from our own timelines, but heightened by the film's near-future tech premise.
This isn't new ground for Bridges. As the co-writer of Black Mirror's Emmy-winning “USS Callister,” he's long obsessed with how technology refracts human longing. Here, with co-writer Goldstein, he strips the sci-fi scaffolding down to a bare romance. It's more in line with Christos Nikou's Fingernails (another Apple sci-fi love test) than Eternal Sunshine, though it shares the latter's ache for missed connections.
The chemistry is key. Goldstein admitted to Entertainment Weekly that one five-minute Zoom with Poots sealed it: “She's a f—ing phenomenal actor, and I learned so much from working with her.” Poots echoed the sentiment at TIFF last year: the film was “one of the best experiences of my life.” Watching the trailer, it's hard to argue—they look like they've been circling each other for a lifetime.
And yet the cynic in me bristles. Love stories framed by destiny can feel too neat. But Bridges knows this, playing with time jumps that force audiences to piece things together, almost like detectives of desire. It's less about fate, more about choice. And that—ironically—is what makes it feel real.
The supporting cast includes Zawe Ashton and Steven Cree, but let's be honest: this is a two-hander, a chamber piece stretched across a decade. One standout trailer moment—a quiet book-event reunion—already feels devastating, that kind of scene you replay later when you can't sleep. Gorgeous. Grating. Gorgeous again.
Apple TV+ streams All of You globally on September 26, 2025. No theatrical run, sadly—a shame, because those silences and long stares belong on a big screen. Still, Bridges' debut is shaping into one of the year's most emotionally charged romances.
Would you take the test? Or would you rather stumble, fall, and maybe—just maybe—find the right person anyway?
