Such a frustrating disappointment

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

All over me is a powerful indi film that shy's away from none of themes that are all too present in reality but barely touched upon in popular cinema. Homophobia, drugs, alcohol, violence, murder, sexuality and honest friendship. The film follows 15 year old Claude (Alison Folland) and her best friend Ellen ( Tara Subkoff) as they mature and take very different paths in life. As Claude is dreaming of becoming a rock star and venturing into a tender relationship with Lucy (Leisha Hailey), Ellen gets involved in a drug fuelled relationship with a violent homophobe. Following the brutal murder of a neighbour the girls once tight bond is torn apart as they no longer understand who they are. This film illustrates the role of conscience in a confused young teens mind, whether to do the 'right' thing at risk losing the biggest person of her life or continue watching a murderer walk the streets dragging down everyone around him. The guilt of not being able to save Ellen from her downward spiral and rightfully shopping Ellen's drug dealer boyfriend to the police is eased by Lucy, who can offer Claude all of the love and affection she has been wasting on Ellen. Beautifully made, beautifully written and perfectly acted by the young stars this is a 90's classic that should be watched by any true fan of good cinema.

I just watched this movie and I loved it. The characters were very well depicted by this young cast. The storyline and the personal associations of the characters were sympathetic and thought provoking.The technical work and production values were first class. Everyone involved in the making of this film should be very proud of their excellent work. I hope that they all have a successful career. Before I became enlightened, I would have liked to see Mark's character come to a catastrophic end, but that wouldn't jibe with my "he has to look at himself in the mirror" philosophy.Loved the "Raggedy Anne" hair. I would highly recommend it to anyone.From a screenwriter wannabe (like half the world).

The setting is Hell's Kitchen, the time the 90s, the lead characters, some confused, angst-ridden teens.There's not much plot here, nor much character development. Just a brief walk on the wild side of big city life.Focusing on a sensually ambivalent girl and her off and on lovers and acquaintances, there are very good performances and atmospheric details to savor. Competently directed, with a rich rock track, these short vignettes explore a feminine teen scene rarely depicted in films. Make no mistake, though, this journey is definitely not for everyone, and only those who have the energy, stamina and interest in examining tough urban life from a young feminine perspective, will be rewarded.

I saw this movie yesterday and I am glad to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters were well-portrayed and everything was realistic. Being a teenager watching "All Over Me," it is easy to relate to what some of the characters are going through. I think it was a very good movie that should have gained more recognition.
