Editorial Review:
Matej Minac's heartbreaking and poignant story of one family's experience at the onset of World War II is inspired by the heroics of English stockbroker Nicholas Winton who saved hundreds of Czech Jewish children from the Nazis and is loosely based on his own mother's personal memories of the time.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Family story . . .
This is a familiar story told with elegance and poignance - about a well-to-do Jewish family in Prague in the late 1930s, as Nazism looms and in the final moments of the film overwhelms them. The joys and sorrows, meanwhile, are those of almost any extended family with brothers pulled in different directions, ranging from a doctor and a concert violinist to an amateur inventor. Another brother shows up who has been on the road with his own carnival.
The predictability of the story is ... Read More
Rating:  - An account of a Jewish family's life in Prague before the horrors of deportation and the camps.
All My Loved Ones is an unusual Holocaust movie in that it doesn't really focus so much on the horrors that Nazism wrought in the lives of the Jews in occupied Prague, rather centers on an ordinary Jewsih family, the Silbersteins, and how they led a rather normal existence before the horrors of Nazi occupation began to be felt.
The story centers on young David Silberstein who enjoys an idyllic childhood in 1939 Prague with his best friend Shosha. David enjoys being the doted only son of ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent movie!!!
Another one from Czech movie treasure. This one though have more serious theme but still this is a family movie with a big piece of history and true stories about brave people who was not afraid to sacrifice something and save the other ones.
Rating: - An important story
This film opens and closes with footage from a Czech news program in 1998, talking about Righteous Gentile Nicholas Winton, who saved 669 children from the Nazis in the late Thirties, and reuniting him with some of those very children he saved, who are now old. He would have saved even more than that had WWII not broken out in September of 1939, as he had had plenty of more names of children to be saved and transported to safety on his lists. However, to save these children, Mr. Winton had to convince ... Read More
Rating: - Another Poignant View of the Holocaust from Prague
Writer Jirí Hubac and Director Matej Minac have created a fine and very different approach to the Holocaust stories of WW II - its insidious origins and relentless destruction of a beautiful Czech family - in the film 'Vsichni moji blízcí' ('All My Loved Ones'). Though the subject matter has been treated in countless films, this relating of the story of a large, happy, well adjusted family in Prague and its gradual disintegration does not dwell on atrocities of the camps but instead slowly unwinds the ...
