Writer-director July stars as... 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.

It helps a great deal that the wispy, flower-like Miranda July appears in her own film, as her adorable, blue-eyed presence warms what would have been a cold... experience.

Establishes a fragile tension that’s both disquieting and hopeful but its poetic nature is abstract in the extreme.

... a playfully offbeat, willfully wide-eyed tale of lonely, inarticulate people looking for connection in a disconnected world.

The dialogue is so contrived, the characters so self-consciously quirky that Me and You often feels like a parody of an indie movie.

Truly independent, which is to say offbeat, daring, and the kind of offering Hollywood will never come close to embracing.

A refreshingly original and touching film about the incredible loneliness of isolated individuals in this digital age of so-called connectedness.

Set in a down-at-the-heels suburb that might be called Anywhere, America, the movie looks for connection in the oddest places, and, with an emotional impact out of all proportion to its gossamer touch, finds it.

So pure in its commitment to the world it has created, so fascinated by its bizarre characters and their idiosyncrasies and so wide-eyed and curious about life’s possibilities that it is utterly unlike the work of any other filmmaker.

How bearable you'll find [the film] has everything to do with your tolerance for stylized indie poetry, played mostly in a quirky, anesthetized deadpan.

At times funny, sinister, quirky and bittersweet, July's film is also obvious, contrived and too precious by far.

An introspective, observant film with a deeply warped sense of humour.

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