All Is Well has all the hallmarks of a modern art house movie. The abbreviated scenes, the prolonged silences and the confrontational subject matter. It was very interesting to see a rape story played out in this way, with the perpetrator not portrayed as a calculated psychopath living on the outskirts of society but as a functioning and respected citizen who is capable of both intense cruelty and actual remorse.
The lead performance from Aenne Schwarz is exceptional and helps keep the film afloat through it's more hesitant moments. A poignant and challenging piece of cinema.
