"Based on a true love story."
All My Life - Ending Explained
⚠️ Spoiler Analysis
The film concludes with Sol's death shortly after the wedding—specifically 128 days later, mirroring the real timeline. A major plot turn is the discovery of a posthumous video message from Sol hidden on a flash drive, which he recorded while he was still healthy enough to do so. This message acts as a narrative bridge, allowing Sol to provide one last "moment" for Jenn and encouraging her to continue living for the "now." This ending clarifies that while Sol is gone, the philosophy he instilled in the community survives him.
Alternative Interpretations
Some critics suggest an "Escapist" interpretation, where the wedding itself acts as a massive distraction or denial of the impending medical reality. In this reading, the film isn't just about love, but about the performative nature of joy as a coping mechanism against existential dread. Another perspective focuses on the "Caregiver's POV," arguing that the film is more about Jenn's emotional journey and the toll of being the 'strong one' than it is about Sol's own experience with cancer, which the film largely sanitizes.
