Brett Goldstein Is Just Ripping Himself Off Now

Brett Goldstein has a new movie hitting Apple TV+ called All of You. He stars as Simon, opposite Imogen Poots as Laura, best friends since college with undeniable chemistry. Then Laura takes a test that claims to identify her soulmate — and it isn’t Simon. Their lives drift apart, yet the question of what they might have had never goes away. Written by Goldstein and William Bridges (who also directs), the film leans into that ache of missed chances.

Here’s the trailer:

When I watched it, I had a bizarre déjà vu, like I’d already seen this movie. Was Apple re-releasing something old? Mandela Effect? Alternate universe?

Halfway through, it clicked. Back in 2020, Goldstein and Bridges (a Black Mirror alum) created AMC’s anthology Soulmates, six episodes about people taking a test to discover their true soulmate. The first episode flipped All of You on its head: Sarah Snook and Kingsley Ben-Adir play a happily married couple who can’t resist wondering if they’d be even happier if they took the test.

Both stories circle the same questions: Can an algorithm really define love? What if a test tells you to walk away from the greatest romance of your life?

Goldstein and Bridges basically ripped themselves off. More likely, All of You began as a Soulmates episode but was shelved for being too close to the pilot. Then Soulmates tanked — no second season, barely an audience, despite premiering during the content drought of 2020. I only watched because I was high on Ted Lasso, which wrapped its first season on Apple TV+ right before Soulmates debuted on AMC. Few others had the same affection for Goldstein at the time, however, because Lasso blew up later, between seasons. Soulmates, on the other hand, was dead on arrival.

So now we get All of You, which feels like Bridges and Goldstein thinking, “No one saw Soulmates, so let’s recycle the idea into a movie.” They weren’t entirely wrong. Almost no one did. But a few of us remember, Brett. And for a minute, your trailer had me questioning my sanity.
