Reception


All Is Well received mixed reviews from critics. Oscar Moralde of Slant Magazine praised Pascoal's depiction of the challenges of Angolan refugees and its impact on the bond between Alda and Maria. Moralde also praised the characterization of Alda and Maria themselves, writing that "Pascoal is steadfast in presenting Alda and Maria as people, not symbols". Robert Koehler's review for Variety was more critical, stating that the cast "lack[ed] a sense of character nuance" and criticizing the dialogue and filmography as unimpressive. Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while Pascoal accurately captured the difficulties of refugees, "the film's near-relentless negativity becomes wearying".
