Even the mistakes are interesting in "Me and You and Everyone We Know"
by Eleanor Ringel Gillespie

A movie that won something at Sundance called the "Originality of Vision" award and is directed by a performance artist who calls herself Miranda July throws up all sorts of red flags. Ignore them. Well, some of them. "Me and You and Everyone We Know" does tend toward preciousness, and its slightly connected storylines are the current plot style du jour. ("Crash" and "Happy Endings" are recent examples.) But this is still a movie you'll want to see. Read the full review

Christine is a lonely artist and "Eldercab" driver who uses her artistic visions to draw the objects of desire closer to her. Richard, a newly single shoe salesman and father of two boys, is prepared for amazing things to happen. But when he meets the captivating Christine, he panics.

READ THE REVIEW

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"July, who also wrote the script, is a keenly observant filmmaker. She lays out relationships in little telling bits."

Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"... the lank, scraggly Hawkes is sympathetic and real, but ... he seems to be in a totally different, more believable film, emoting and reacting among the chronically detatched."

Dayton Daily News: A-
"... funny, strange and endearing."
