Though the main charcater is lesbian, Sichel's gritty youth melodrama is so rich in ideas amd so roght in its texture that it goes beyond a coming-out ot even a lesbian-themed story.

Given great lyrical force by Folland, it comes closer to unlocking the secret lives of girls than any other recent American movie.

Sichel is just great with her cast.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Less successful at portraying indecision than it is at inducing boredom.

Part of the reason All Over Me possesses such a stark sense of realism is because of the keenly-observed, unaffected performances of the lead actors.
