Plots(1)
With this compassionate, startling comedy that could have come from no other artistic sensibility, the brilliant Miranda July reveals a world both familiar and strange—an original vision of creativity, sexuality, childhood, and loneliness through a series of braided vignettes around a pair of potential lovers: Richard, a newly single shoe salesman and father of two (John Hawkes), and Christine, a lonely video artist and “Eldercab” driver (July). While they take hesitant steps toward romance, Richard’s sons follow their own curiosity toward their first sexual experiences, online and in real life, venturing into uncharted territories in their attempts to connect with others. Playful and profoundly transgressive, Me and You and Everyone We Know is a poetic look at the tortuous routes we take to intimacy in an isolating world, and the moments of magic and redemption that unite us.

Reviews (1)
Incomprehensible message of American Beauty, Happiness, and similar films about wanderers without a fixed life path. Miranda July is lost in what she would like to say, and sometimes she slips from the story of strange people into unnecessarily deep vulgar waters (chattering boys are completely out of place), and all profound speeches are just empty cotton in which even the characters themselves get lost. I couldn't identify with anyone, and I was just waiting for another excerpt from the beautifully hypnotic soundtrack.
