Meaning of title?

What does "All Over Me" mean. Does it have a specific meaning? Or is it just "all about Claude"?

I always figured they'd just lifted a line from REM's 'Tongue' which would fit with the whole 90's indie gender-bending thing.
In fact I always thought 'Monster' was probably the director's ideal soundtrack for this film but that they didn't have the budget.

Great call, Shes_dead! I was wondering about the title myself, and I didn't think of the R.E.M. lyric until you reminded me. It would have fit in perfectly here, though the soundtrack was quite good.

the drama of the film was all related to actions of Claude and people's feelings towards her, as in 'this was all over me'

Yeah.

It’s short for ‘come all over me!’ 💦
