The story centers on Claude (Alison Folland), a 15-year-old aspiring guitarist who is navigating an intense and increasingly toxic bond with her best friend, Ellen (Tara Subkoff).

Directed by Alex Sichel and written by her sister Sylvia, All Over Me (1997) is a quintessential piece of New Queer Cinema that captures the gritty, pre-gentrification atmosphere of New York’s Hell's Kitchen. Often compared to Larry Clark’s Kids (1995) for its raw depiction of urban youth, the film is distinguished by its focused exploration of female desire and the burgeoning Riot Grrrl subculture of the late 90s. Narrative and Themes

Initially conceived as a documentary on the feminist punk movement, the film evolved into a feature drama that remains deeply rooted in its soundtrack.
