All About E

I thoroughly enjoyed this film and have seen it multiple times at various festival screenings. It is entertaining, punchy, refreshing and doesn't conform to the stereotypes forced on many queer films. It does not need to be overly tragic and dark to be taken seriously but still explores the relevant themes of acceptance, tolerance and heart-break. There is humour and multi- culturalism that is often lacking in other films.

For first-time writer/director Louise Wadley it was an ambitious project with so many locations but it's a triumph - the clubs, the country, the city; Australia is portrayed so dynamically. Brett Rogers was the stand-out for me in a difficult, transformative role that had to balance being (essentially) the sole comic relief as well as a self-conscious misfit.
