Absolutely Fantastic

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

SPOILERS "E" (Mandahla Rose) is a DJ down oondah in Australia, and when she accidentally takes her boss's bag of money, it turns her life upside down. She loses her girlfriend Trish (Julia Billington), and freaks out her own parents by telling them they must go on holiday so her boss doesn't harm them. Her gay manager Matt (Brett Rogers) is also her best friend, but even that relationship is on the rocks. With all this going on, E and Matt hit the road with the stolen money, and hope for the best. So many bad decisions. Great outdoor scenery shots of the hot, dry, outback of Australia. You really feel the hot air and parched earth. Written and directed by Lousie Wadley, of Girls Own Productions, which you can read about here www.girlsown.com/about/ . Good story, fine acting performances by all. Lots of mournful clarinet music throughout, since E used to play the clarinet - an ongoing theme. The title was a little confusing, and that may have been intentional; i wasn't sure if it was a reference to ecstasy, or maybe a parody of All About Eve. it's neither one. An upbeat ending, which was nice. Story was a little far-fetched... would someone really put their own life, and the lives of her parental units in such danger when the solution to all this could have been reached much earlier? maybe. still interesting to watch.

A coming of age story, of a young woman who does not think all she is, is good enough, so seeks out a more glamorous life. Set in the vibrant and colourful city of Sydney, Australia where we meet a parade of interesting and individual characters. Then moves us to the outback, where we get to see the vastness and other side of life in Australia.If you are looking for the highly polished, billion dollar movie spectacular of Hollywood, this movie isn't for you. If you crave for the days when movies had a real story, where you could relate to and feel emotionally connected to the characters, where you actually cared what happened in the story, then you will love this movie. We get to see real people represented on the screen, real lives, with real challenges and a view of both sides of Australia which is real, that we don't get in other movies. This is how movies should be made. The little movie that could.

Loved seeing the film - in fact, so much so, I've watched it three times. The whole cast is great, but the three leads are particularly good, including newcomer Mandahla Rose who is especially terrific in her role as a somewhat conflicted musician-turned-DJ on the run from her boss with a stash of cash. She's tough but tender and like all the women in the film, strong and determined. Loved the Lebanese back story (the scene with E's mother really resonated) along with the original soundtrack music. The characters are multidimensional rather than the usual clichés we often see in Australian films - especially ones with LGBTQI characters or ones with outback settings. Even the two drag queens and E's best friend didn't conform to the stereotypes we are so often presented with of bitchy gay men. Totally refreshing! Culturally it's also diverse and beautifully filmed in places - the farm scenes especially bring the landscape alive.

I really enjoyed All About E. This is the first lesbian feature film / lesbian thriller that I have seen that has included so many unique elements. We never get to see lesbians in roles like this, the plot is tight and fast, the story is set in rural Australia, themes such as homophobia and racism are set side by side. The film is full of surprises. I loved Mandala Rose as E - she was simply magnetic. I also thought that the sex scene was one of the best that I have even seen. The story line and thematic progression in the film was really well developed. The main character not only gets the girl in the end but learns some great life lessons. I have seen All About E twice and each time the audience has been thrilled with the film. It clearly appeals to gay and straight audiences and to a mix of ages and backgrounds. Well done - a new Australian director and producer and a brilliant product. Its a "must see"!
