Let me start off by saying that the films homosexual elements do not have an effect on me whatsoever. In fact there are lesbian movies I enjoy, this wasn't one of them. All About E is a pretty stale movie, without any real substance, it's actually pretty generic. Let me reiterate; the lesbian element of the movie doesn't bother me, however just because it has this doesn't mean it's free of faults. The main actresses have no real chemistry, and that seriously affects their performances. Some of the "love" scenes between them don't work and aren't convincing enough to sell to me that they are really in love, but I don't want to be too harsh.. The only few things of merit are the location shots and some comedic dialogue, that works well enough. But these things are too far and few in between and instead its pretty dull. The films climax wants to make you care about the relationship between the two main actress's, but you just can't! The chemistry is once again not there. Tthe actors are trying to give good performances some of which are great, but others are not at all. The overly dramatic ending comes across as a way for the film to neatly wrap up loose ends. But that in itself is rushed, but to some credit, brought out some good character development, but it was too late in the movie to save it. To conclude, this movie has nothing of real high quality merit, except for the above mentioned things. It's a tame directorial debut with need of improvement, but it can be and I think will be in future movies.
