All About E

I happened to catch this film at San Francisco's Frameline Film Festival last summer. I realize it is a lesbian written and produced work, but it does not need any sexually parochial designation to make it a worthwhile film. Rather, it is a fast-paced, compelling, engrossing, thrill ride of a movie, a ripping good yarn, which includes gay main characters in its fine tuned ensemble cast. The cinematography was languorous and luscious, somehow conveying an almost palpable sense of dust and heat and grit of rural Australia. I know I am a Yank, and this is an Aussie film; but why haven't encountered these brilliant actors before? I was particularly impressed by Brett Rogers' performance as E's fubsy best friend. It was subtle, complex, nuanced, and poignant, and was well matched by Mandahla Rose and Julia Billington as the lesbian protagonists. Even the dog was brilliant. For me, it was a "must see" film, so much so that I had to go see it again when it turned up in the Palm Springs Cinema Diverse. If you get a chance to catch this film, don't miss it.

Having seen the hype for this film on many lesbian blogs, I was eager to see what All About E had to offer the 2015' queer cinema lineup. I was pleasantly surprised! As I read on 'Afterellen,' "it's the road movie you never knew you wanted!".

All About E avoids the tragic clichés of lesbians depicted on screen that we see time and time again. It joins the new wave of independent and mainstream cinema giving gay women what we want to see on screen, but manages to do so with half the budget of partner films.

The directorial debut of Louis Wadley, All About E, appeals to a wide audience, with a plot that ticks over nicely, believable performances, cinematography that uniquely frames the Australian outback, some drama and laughs and a refreshingly realistic love scene.

It's an independent Aussie film that carves out a nice little niche for itself.. All About E sets out to set our hearts aflutter and asks you to come along for the ride.

This Lesbian road movie is a fabulous, must see, film. The acting, cinematography, landscapes and of course the gorgeous looking actors all are what makes this such an enjoyable movie. A story about belonging - not belonging - identity search - and the adventures along the way. Just don't miss it - All the ingredients for a fun time with kids, dogs and tractors. Shot in the Australian out back you can feel the atmosphere and heat of the surroundings. It includes probably the best Lesbian sex scene you will ever see on screen and all that set to the wonderful music by Basil Hogios. All about e has been received at film festivals in the United States and Australia with brilliant reviews and audiences wanting more. Full houses all the way - Repeat performances requested and arranged.

The beauty of Australia, and of a true love, I thought beautifully filmed. And a good story. I liked it.

This 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.......
