Movie Reviews of Me and You and Everyone We Know

Movie Review: If you are a delicate flower don't bother !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Delicate flowers beware...are you offended by children accessing the internet and talking dirty? (they do this you realize)

Are you offended by teenaged girls flirting and exploring and using their ever-budding sexuality in a mulititude of ways? (they do this also you realize)

If so don't bother!

This is a strange, hypnotic and eclectic film that is primally addicting, even if you're not sure how to feel about what these characters are doing and saying, you can't stop watching. (ofcourse unless your a delicate flower with your head in the sand)

In a very abstract way this film examines the way people communicate. What we say vs. what we mean.

There are no movies stars, no super effects in this film. The people are real, they aren't going to gloss a pin-up magazine anytime soon. If you find sadness in this film you are only seeing one side of it, quite clearly we live our lives all over the emotional map and this film explores that quite effectively.

Give it a try if you can toughen up enough to handle it or maybe instead you don't even need toughening up, you already like awkward, brilliant films just left of center.

Summary of Me and You and Everyone We Know

Award-winning and critically acclaimed, Me You and Everyone We Know, is a poetic and penetrating look at how everyday people struggle to connect with one another in an isolating modern world. Christine Jesperson (writer/director Miranda July) is a struggling artist and cab driver who uses her talents and imagination to draw her dreams and objects of desire. One such object is Richard Swersey (John Hawkes, TV's "Deadwood"), a newly-single father of two boys who is hoping for amazing things, yet panics upon meeting the captivating Christine. But in a world where the mundane is transcendent and people seek meaningful connections despite the risk, anything magical can happen - and well - happen.
One of the most critically acclaimed films of 2005, Me and You and Everyone We Know is also one of the most original feature debuts you're ever likely to see. Winner of the Camera d'or Award for best first film at the Cannes Film Festival, it's an altogether charming display of talent for writer, director, and costar Miranda July, a performance artist making a promising transition to film. Her loose-knit tale of love and longing encompasses a large cast of quirky and memorable characters, foremost among them being Christine (July), a forlorn dreamer who falls in love with Richard (John Hawkes, from HBO's Deadwood), who's going through a traumatic divorce. Richard is desperate to be a good father to his seven- and 14-year-old sons, both of whom have experiences that push Me and You to an almost perverse level of audacity, but July handles their potentially troubling scenes with such delicacy and tact that they seem almost miraculously innocent. The whole film is like that: It never, ever goes where you think it's going to go, and every scene tingles with humor, affection and curiosity for its characters. As it turns routine days into joyous opportunities for discovery, July's remarkable film is not for all tastes, but if you're looking for something new, different, and defiantly out of the mainstream, this gentle comedy's for you. --Jeff Shannon
