one of the best movies i've seen in a long time. It's incredibly touching and hilarious at the same time. Totally original and incredibly well done. It totally stands on its own, but if I had to compare it to something, i would say it was reminicient of the work of Todd Solondz (welcome to the dollhouse, happiness, storytelling). It has a hell of a bite to it. Check it out if it comes to your town and you like your movies way left of center

saw it with 5 friends yeterday and everyone loved it.

My favorite movie of the year.

I've seen it twice. Once at the Cleveland International Film Festival and then at the Washington DC FilmFest. Miranda July was in attendance in DC and she is as funny and bright in person as you would expect.

so she was the main lead and the director/writer right? what a talent. I honestly found her character annoying by the end of the picture, but it didn't cut my love of the film at all. What an amazing job for a first timer.

well I'm glad cause I thought her character in the movie was neurotic and annoying. This movie was so pretentious and as whynotsmile pointed out, it wears it's indie cred (i.e, the Todd Solondz homage) a little too blatantly.

I didn't care for this movie all that much, and I am not surprised at all with the critic's masturbatory glee and praise over this movie - very overrated IMO.

I'll have to see this. John Hawkes

Ditto. Though I liked July. But parts of the film were unbearable.

I noticed this being bought a lot during the DDD sale, and it sounded interesting enough to give it a shot. OnceI read Mr. Kleinman's gushing review, I was sold.

And boy, is he right. Think of the quirkiness of a Wes Anderson movie infused with extremely lewd sexual content and having the result be about as offensive as Napoleon Dynamite. Just thinking of it now made me pop it in.

What does everyone else think?

i didnt really care for it, most of the characters i didnt care about. It wasnt bad i watched the whole thing but something i would never watch again

it had one really good scene, when the girl and guy are walking down the street and they are pointing out "this is there forty year mark etc" that was a pretty good scene

It had a few good bits, but overall I didn't see what all the fuss was about. That said, I hate Wes Anderson movies and was pretty meh on Napoleon Dynamite, so there you go. I did prefer M&Y&EWK to any of those.

I thought Me, You, and Everyone We Know was just one of those pretenious "indie" films that shows unrealistic characters and that everyone in the world is an artist. Still better than Junebug, though. ** out of *****.

Extremely overrated film. (And unlike Chris above, I prefer "Junebug".) While "You and Me. . ." had some good scenes, I could not get beyond the very stalker-like actions of the main character.

It reminded me of a more optimistic version of "Happiness." Though I have to confess I really disliked both movies.

I thought it was pretty good, and look forward to seeing more from the director. While I didn't buy the movie, I did put it on a wish list for Christmas and did get it for Christmas.

I thought we already had a thread on this...

I searched in Movie Talk and didn't find one.

Because of the name, you had to search on the director's name "Miranda July" to find the earlier thread on the film.

It's a very polarizing film, some will hate it, some will love it. I thought the lead female character was a little too stalkerish, and just a little too artsy-fartsy at times. The payoff for little boy's online fun was almost worth watching the film, though.

Trying to watch a few flicks on Mubi before we cancel our 3 month trial this week, and I enjoyed this. I thought it would be a background watch while reading a book but I found myself really pulled into it.

Everyone felt both real and hyper-real, a mix that left me intrigued. Maybe it's that the character quirks felt exaggerated but the acting felt very rrealistic.I also liked the interwoven storylines with overlapping characters and relationships. That storytelling device can come off as forced or heavy-handed, but here it worked.

I chuckled at the dialogue about how "everything will be computerized in twenty years." Well, it was 2005 and how it's 2025, and we are well on our digital way!

Didn't expect to see this thread in 2025. I saw it in theaters and did not like it. But it was funny seeing a bunch of older people walk out in disgust during the computer scene near the beginning.

I haven't seen this since probably 2005 but I think I really liked it?
