This is a delightful film that sweeps you from Sydneys clubbing scene to a farm homestead via a mini road trip. Featuring comedy, lust,jealousy,chases and forgiveness this could be overly busy but trust me, the cinematography and lush soundtrack will carry you along and release you with a smile on you face. Yes the protagonists are gay but it would be wrong to think that this is a niche film. This is a film about acceptance of who we are sexually, emotionally and geographically. Highly recommended to all but the unreachably closed minded. Come to think of it perhaps it should be compulsory viewing for them too.

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.

I managed to catch All About E in 2015. I didn't really know what to expect, given I don't watch many films with lesbian themes, but I was pleasantly surprised. Well performed, and told with excellent pace, the film had me enthralled, as well as caring about the fate of E and her friends. The moments of looming tension work exceptionally well, but there is also plenty of levity from the funnier interactions between the characters. Most striking for me, was the use of the Australian landscape, to give the whole film an organic realism, along with plenty of harsh beauty. It was reminiscent of quality Australian stories that so elegantly use the land as an extra character. A film worthy of anyone's movie night.

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"!
