All About E has some plot twists that don't stand up to too much scrutiny. The acting is at times forced however Mandahla Rose who plays Elmira is endearing. Julie Billington (Starting from Now) as Trish with her steady pragmatic approach to life provides a rudder for the movie. Matt also gives a winning performance as Elmira's gay friend and confidente even if his Irish accent is not always true.

| Matt says "It seems to me you're in with a chance if you don't blow it." |
As a lesbian movie All About E is a watchable film with some very relevant lesbian interest themes and a happy ending even if it does get a bit bogged down here and there in the telling. It has some magical moments and strong scenes between Trish and Elmira. The lengthy love scene is particularly well choreographed and not to be missed.
