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.

A graceful first step in what is sure to be a long and wonderfully imaginative evolution.

While Miranda July's first feature film might be classified as romantic comedy, it introduces the playful qualities of installation art to the conventions of narrative cinema.

Delightfully light on its feet, suffused with a knowing humor that is more sweetly careworn than cynical.

Characterized by an ensemble of rich and delicious characters and witty, unexpected dialogue, July's script is also marked by a deep affection for children.

July's fertile imagination fills [the film] with incidents, many of which are charming and perceptive, some of which fall embarassingly flat.

A clever screenwriter and inspired director, July takes us places no other filmmaker has ever visited.

A journey from sexual innocence to youthful curiosity, middle-aged disconnection and finally death in the magical simultaneity of screen time.

It's funny, insightful, and makes you want to call up Miranda and say, 'Macaroni' (which means 'I get you').

A comedy/drama that is unusually attuned to the halting, tentative way people connect with each other.

A charmingly odd movie about the adventure life has to offer, even in the form of department stores, hope chests and goldfish.

Me and You and Everyone We Know is a real treasure in the guise of yet another Sundance dramedy (dare I say romantic comedy?) about quirky characters populating a quirky world.

Many other characters also weave in and out of the story, which is sometimes sweet and ingenious, extremely explicit about adolescent sex. and occasionally too clever for its own good.

Walks a thin line between sincerity and pretension, but ultimately deals with enough issues head-on to make the occassionally excessive quirkiness forgivable.
