Performance artist Miranda July's debut feature film, ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW, is a charming, quirky romantic comedy that is entertaining from start to finish. Writer-director July stars as Christine, an offbeat performance artist who becomes instantly smitten with Richard (John Hawkes), a brooding department-store shoe salesman who is having trouble dealing with his divorce and his separation from his two kids--the shy, private Peter (Miles Thompson) and the very funny Robby (Brandon Ratcliff). Christine is trying to get her latest work accepted at a major museum, but first she has to get through mean-spirited Nancy (Tracy Wright), who is not necessarily very interested in her submission. Meanwhile, Natasha Slayton and Najarra Townsend are a riot as a pair of teenagers who think they're ready for sex as they tease neighborhood pervert Andrew (Brad Henke) and consider experimenting with Peter. Amid all the tender, comedic, well-acted, and well-written scenes, Ratcliff nearly steals the film as Robby gets involved in a dirty, hysterical online chat with a mystery person. July's marvelous, surprising movie won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival in addition to well-deserved prizes at the Philadelphia and San Francisco International Film Festivals.

Reviews
breaks through its own whimsical stylisation to touch you in unexpected and mysterious ways.
A clever screenwriter and inspired director, July takes us places no other filmmaker has ever visited.
Micro budget, no-name cast, but a movie with boundless imagination.
With a film like Me and You and Everyone We Know there is much to talk about afterward, and half the fun is in its dissection.
In a time in which the big screen is cluttered with retreads of old TV shows... July's film is an oasis of offbeat observations and provocative humor.
A journey from sexual innocence to youthful curiosity, middle-aged disconnection and finally death in the magical simultaneity of screen time.
Life-affirming; a wonderfully serene treat of a film that you'd be sorry to miss.
The uneven romantic drama veers from raunchy comedy situations to making keen observations about desperate folks.
An extremely enjoyable film that is by turns funny, moving and genuinely romantic.
July’s tender, original movie is a wonderfully uplifting experience.
