AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

framptonhollis Miranda July made this movie. She also stars in it, she might be the main character I think, although there is a lot of main characters. This movie is about me, you, and everyone we know. Is it a quirky movie? Yes, it certainly contains the typical "quirky indie movie" flare, but it doesn't dwell on that like other indie movies. There are things about it that feel like a direct reaction against the stereotype of an indie movie. There's disgusting and disturbing sexual content, satire of modern art, characters that are uncomfortably strange and likely mentally challenged, but are still highly sympathetic, and no real overall story...wait stop. It actually does have an overall story or, more appropriately, it has multiple stories that all connect in a surprisingly unique fashion. Many movies are like this sort of, many movies have a big cast of oddball characters that are all interrelated in their own way and it all culminates together in the end and whatever. But this movie does that whole trend a bit differently. A lot of the characters don't really have too much of a conclusion, they just fade (and run) away, and the final image of the film shows that time will still go on. All of these people will still live out their sad, warm, humorous, pathetic, lovable lives until their time is up and another takes their place. What exactly am I trying to say? That's a good question. My thoughts on this film are kind of scattered and confused, just like the film itself. Parts of it felt really pretentious, but they also contained a type of honesty that isn't often seen in "pretentious" indie movies. July is a filmmaker with a clear vision...a vision that she just wants to express. She doesn't come across as an intentionally hipster-like artist who tries way to hard. Instead, she comes across as a person who is extremely genuine, who wants to express (using visuals and words) how she sees and feels about the world. And I respect her and this film for that, even if I didn't really like ALL of it, the overarching impression it gave me was really powerful. Some of the visuals here are stuck in my mind forever, and don't mind that at all. There is dialogue in the film that is laugh out loud funny, there are moments of tragedy that touched me despite being really mild when one stops to think about them. It's a movie to get you feeling and thinking, it's a movie that both tries too hard and not enough, making it feel just right. It is the pinnacle of imperfection, but it is also too sweet and beautiful and hilarious to dismiss as a failed experiment. It is something "else" entirely, totally removed from what you're probably used to seeing, something that anyone with an open mind must see.

Amy Lodholz Indie flick lovers don't want to miss Me You and Everyone We Know (2005). Unknown Director and Writer Miranda July introduces Richard (played by the talented John Hawkins of Winter's Bone and The Sessions) and Christine (July) among several other unique and enriching characters whose own stories are as intriguing, relevant and compelling as the two leads. Me You and Everyone We Know is playful, whimsical and surprising - managing to keep your typical boy-meets-girl scenario interesting from beginning to end.At first, Richard's story comes second to that of his children. His two bi-racial sons (ages 13 and 6) are very close to each other, quiet and withdrawn. The two of them have become absorbed in unusual computer games and online chat rooms (likely coping mechanisms due to their parents recent separation). The situations the boys find themselves in are honest and real while also being slightly quirky and humorous. The youngest boy (Robby) is played by scene-stealing Brandon Ratcliff - whose character's delicate nature, curiosity and innocence are delightfully spotlighted in several funny and touching scenarios throughout the film. Richard is learning how to care and interact with his boys now on his own, in a whole new (and single) life when he crosses paths with Christine for the first time.Christine runs a shuttle service for the elderly and meets Richard (a humble shoe salesman) when she takes one of her clients out to get new sneakers. Even though the two of them only exchange a few sparse sentences, she's hooked and awkwardly seeks him out the following day. She lovingly stumbles through attempts at flirting and conversation making their journey all the more true and likable. Christine is also a contemporary artist and her work - full of love and poetry - help viewers learn more about her and move the plot forward in a unique way.Me You and Everyone We Know is clever and fresh with familiar movie characters that are crafted with surprising twists. It's an indie home-run bound to be a cult classic. Without giving too much away, viewers should watch this film just to find out the significance of the words, "Back and forth. Forever."

tubamonkey09 This movie was one of the biggest loads of pretentious indie garbage I've seen in a long time. The episode of south park comes to mind in which the "progressive" adults smell their own farts. Miranda July must have over-dosed on her own farts, and then made this film.Miranda July directs and stars in this film that is supposed to show how quirky and strange everyday people can be, but only ends up trying too hard to be unique. This film is like a metaphorical infant, crying and throwing a tantrum when the audience doesn't give it enough attention. If you want to see Miranda July pretend to be interesting and unique and special on camera, go ahead and take a look. Otherwise skip this trash and go with something else.

handbledzoin Look at the box cover. Seems like a nice cute quirky indie comedy, right? And all those awards. It must be good! Well, you'd be wrong, my friend. Dead Wrong.In the first fifteen minutes or so, a man sets his hand on fire in front of his two young sons, two people in a car try to rescue a goldfish in a bag on top of an SUV in traffic, and a middle-aged man sexually propositions two teenage girls. It gets worse from there. It's as if Nia Vardalos had tried to adapt a really bad John Waters screenplay and effed it up. I am mostly a liberal person, but this movie sent the needle on my Wrong-O-Meter straight into the red zone. Afterwards, I had to scrub myself down like Meryl Streep in SILKWOOD after being exposed to radiation. Avoid this movie like a dead rat on the sidewalk.
