All Over Me (1997)
Good and realistic story from the 90's
Personally, I find this a very good movie in the way how it handles the subjects love, friendship, argue, sadness and violence. There are also lesbian and gay characters in it. It's a good and realistic story and I think it can help some young lesbian and gay persons if they watch this movie. It's for anyone good to watch this.
Alison Folland (I'm a big fan of hers) plays Claude. She is in love with her friend Ellen. Ellen on the other hand is dating Mark but he don't care (much) about her and helps her taking drugs. He is also busy with criminal activities. Claude finds it difficult to see Ellen with him because of her feelings and later on she finds out more and more that he is a bad person. The friendship between Claude and Ellen first is kinda special but later on they get argue because Ellen is very much influenced by Mark.
There is also a murder in the story. It's someone Claude knows and it effects her as well.
At some moment, Claude meets Lucy, a girl in a music store. They like each other but don't talk yet. Later on someone says that she should try a certain bar so that she can meet people there. In that bar are playing girl bands. She does and finds Lucy again by some lucky chance! I won't tell you how the movie continues because it's nicer for you if you watch it yourself!
Also, I find the music good and I think it suits the story. And by looking at the clothing of the characters we can see that the weather is warm.

Intelligent script and good story!
Personally, I find this a great movie because it's touching and the combination of the characters and how they treat each other is well done. There is also good humor in it so that gave me some nice moments too. We have Albert Burroughs, an autistic man, who won lots of prizes for fishing because of a talent and he lives with his mother. His father is around him while not knowing that this man is his father. The movie is set in winter time.
Unfortunately, there are people who gets after the money of Albert. These people are very different from each other and they lie to Albert to get what they want. How one of them develop gave me a special feeling because it shows that not all people that does bad things are really bad. Some will change their ways of thinking and will feel affection.
I recommend this movie for people who like to see movies about autistic persons, who like to see the lovely actress Alison Folland in one of her big roles or who just wanna see a movie with an intelligent script and a good story!
