I just didn't get All About E. Why does Johnny have such a hold over E (and she over him)? This was never really explained. On the road trip, why do houses appear on one side of the highway while the view straight ahead is just a rural landscape? Why is the turn-off to Hay somewhere between Wollongong and Melbourne, when it's actually in western NSW? Why does the clock on the wall give a different time from the one on the mobile phone? Why does Johnny believe he knows for sure where E is purely on the basis of a postcard he finds? Having arrived at what he believes to be E's hide-out (with no evidence), how does Johnny then know the way across paddocks to a tin shed (20km away) where the girls, their dog, and the gay boy, Matt, have fled? Why does the dog suddenly recover from the poisoned meat Johnny gave it? Why does a light plane suddenly appear? Why is the door of the plane open but closed a split second later? Why did the film not have any effect on me at all?
... View MoreThis movie has everything, the breakup, the parents who try to understand, the gay best friend, the pet dog and a plane. It's a bit slow sometimes, where the writer director fell in love with the scene but give her a break. It's her first script and first movie. There are gangsters planes and dogs, everything you ever wanted in a lesbian movie (if you are a lesbian). There is no porn. This also iconic as an Australian movie with Sydney Kings Cross organised crime district, Wollongong and the bush. The actors have done a great job on the script, which itself has had readings at festivals because it is so good. Australian lesbian culture is like all lesbian cultures and is unique because it is Australian. A rollicking insider's view of a lesbian adventure. It was crowd-funded and we all hope you like this this small love story. And yes, E is a bit of a brat.......
... View MoreI just loved it, have seen it twice, and would happily see it again. Thought it was funny and I always love good humour, I thought the views of Australia were brilliant, the contrasting scenes, city and country I thought were innovative. The love scenes were very good, enough to be scintillating without being tacky. I suppose no movie is going to please everyone, but myself and the people I know all enjoyed it. The dog was a lovely touch, especially grabbing the dog in the last scene. Personally I would not have thrown out the money, but many of the group I watched with said they would. E was naughty and nice, which I think reflected most people, I would like to think I have a bit of both, so easy to identify with.
... View MoreAll about E does many things that other movies don't... It makes you laugh. It has sumptuously gorgeous cinematography making the most of the beautifully rich and authentic Australian country setting. The characters have some depth to them and represent multi-racial Australia. The script is great keeping the movie rolling along at a thunderous pace. The performances make you connect with the characters and draw you into the story. There is one of the best sex scenes ever. This movie really shows a glimpse of our lesbian lives. Don't miss it. I saw this movie twice and the audience loved it on both occasions with rounds of heartfelt applause. Both times I saw it was in very mixed cinema audiences - it appeals equally to gay and straight viewers.
