Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Very well executed

Boring

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Writer/director/actress Miranda July does a wonderful job of balancing the quirky nature of these characters with some of the darker turns the plot takes. What really makes the film is the performances all round, John Hawkes is perfectly cast as a disillusioned farther and shoe store worker. The film works as a character study of both adult and adolescent relationships, how we relate to each other as human beings and how we communicate. At the same time the film doesn't seem to take place in a realistic world, more of an idealized one or slightly above reality where characters are free to be themselves without much consequence.All in all Miranda July's film will appeal to the true film lover and the lover of quirky independent flicks. This is a well written, directed and acted film with a lot of substance seven out of ten stars

I like well made films and the introduction to this one, although slight dull seemed intriguing. However, it failed to ignite and like a car with a broken engine it needed a strong push, which it failed to receive. The scenarios throughout, touching on the subject of Pedophilia and the dangerous curious minds of lonely children were weak, this movie failed to make a proper statement in every area, it's like the writer had intention to create a meaningful scenario and then got way too stoned that they couldn't be bothered to follow through. This film was way too long and too much time was spent on the troubled female character who was recording and sent her work to an artist.I don't think this film was a realistic portrayal or an artistic one of any community, it truly was the same all the way through, with nothing groundbreaking taking place, it was all just ideas bundled together that never went anywhere, somewhere someone had intention but the paper plane just kept flying in circles.--------Not worth viewing if you actually care to watch thought- provoking artistic films ----- this film is the most pretentious i've seen recently

it is a special film. a delicate, fragile, profound reflection of life with its many sides. it is bitter and warm and nice and cruel. a man, his children, wife, neighbors, a woman. and splendid dialogs, touching performance. vulnerability and search of happiness. deep social problems. and fear. innocence in strange clothes. and need of the other. a fish in a bag and a dialog. a picture with bird and the sun. a woman and a child in park. and too realistic atmosphere. after its end - the image of Brandon Ratcliff amazing performance. and the traces of a film about basic common things. like a modern fairy tale. only shadows of dragons is different. and the sleep of Charming Prince.

Miranda July wrote, directed, and acted in this film as Christine Jesperson, an elderly taxi cab driver and aspiring artist, in Los Angeles, California. John Hawkes played Richard Swerskey, a newly separated father of two young sons, who works a dead end job in shoe sales at a department store. John Hawkes does a fabulous job in playing a sympathetic role in this film. There are plenty of awkward times in the film. There is plenty of realism in watching everyday ordinary people living their lives. The pedophile character is perhaps the most troublesome. He leaves disturbing notes on his window but nobody seems to read them except the two teenage girls who walk by everyday. There is a lot of relevant topics that the film deals with on an everyday level about online pornography, divorce, coming of age. The film is very relevant years later in today's world. There are no major stars but the story itself. Viewers will appreciate and relate to the characters in this film. They're just struggling to get by in life and trying to find happiness an fulfillment.
