All About E (2015)
3/10
An illogical plot, lack of continuity, and characters who failed to make an impression.

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?
