Editorial Review:
This gritty 1997 film marks the merging of several budding talents: sisters Sylvia and Alex Sichel, who serve as writer and director, and actors Alison Folland (To Die For), Tara Subkoff, and Murmurs singer Leisha Hailey. The idea behind the movie was the Sichels' awe at ever having survived being teenage girls in the big city.
All Over Me is about Claude (Folland) a shy, overweight teen who works in a pizza parlor after school and is secretly in love with her best friend Ellen (Subkoff). But Ellen is far ahead of Claude in development. She has an older boyfriend, and she harbors a bad case of destructive self-loathing that erupts frequently and with a fury. But All Over Me isn't just a teenage cautionary or coming-out tale. It's as much a story of New York and its unbearably long, hot summers as it is the downtown music scene or teenage dreams and struggles with adult issues. More than that, it's a well-made film that has its own rhythm, working slowly to give us insight into the girls' natures. It succeeds admirably in taking us back to that age when everything seemed possible despite the dangers of the city closing in. Growing up has never felt as close to home or as scarily realistic. --Paula Nechak

Rating:  - Loved this movie
I really loved this movie- everything about it- the acting is superb, the direction is excellent and the plot is very well done. This movie meshes together very well. It seems very real and raw when watching it and there are TONS of messages sprinkled throughout the movie that make it flow very nicely. Excellent

Loved the movie. Thanks much.
Rating: - Absolutely Fantastic!!!
As a lesbian teen I am not faced with many options to get the kinda love story that I crave. So, tired of the whole boy-gets-girl(blah!) routine, I decided to do a little researching. So I came across All Over Me(thank god!) on the Independent Film Channel. And now I watch it EVERY time that it is on, no matter what! For example, it was on last night at 7:30, then this afternoon at 12:45, and I watched it both times! This movie is definately the NEXT movie that I buy of here when I get the cash! ... Read More
Rating: - Not Another Teen Coming Out Movie
This movie really helped me to begin to feel more comfortable as a young woman coming into my own. This movie really hits it home that sometimes the best thing to do in life is to leave those from your past and follow the path that is right for you. The movie also bravely illustrates that no matter how much we may try, we cannot make another person follow the right path, even if it might mean the difference between life and death in that person's life.
Rating:  - Great
Except for a few rough spots, I loved this film. The way it portrays love, hate, and prejudice is excellent. Overall, a great film.
