Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Definition eludes the delicate pleasures of this marvelous, idiosyncratic movie collage.

100
Premiere
Peter Debruge
Every so often, a movie blindsides you, leaving you feeling different, enlightened, possibly even improved. Me and You and Everyone We Know is such a movie.

100
LA Weekly
Scott Foundas
By turns comic and tender, tragic and absurd. But throughout, it gives off what is surely one of the greatest of moviegoing pleasures -- the sense of an artist seeing the world from some private vantage that is as original as it is truthful.

100
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A film that with quiet confidence creates a fragile magic.

100
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Totally original yet filled with familiar human frailties, "Everyone" leaps off the screen to become one of those rare movie-going experiences.

90
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
It seems quite possible that Me and You marks the arrival of an artist who may affect--disturbingly yet helpfully--films and audiences to come.

90
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Optimistic and humanistic to the core, Me and You and Everyone We Know is a paean to perseverance and finding ways to cope.

88
Chicago Tribune
Allison Benedikt
It's a familiar dance, but something only July could invent, a vignette much like her characters: beautiful, flawed, organic--fine alone but better with the others.

88
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Remarkably, ''Me and You" doesn't shock so much as soothe.

88
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Performance artist Miranda July hits a grand slam as the writer, director and star of her first film. It's a moonbeam romance laced with startling wit and gravity.

88
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Although Me and You and Everyone We Know requires patience on the part of the viewer - to get past the faux naivete of its grown-up characters, to get past its deadpan arty tone - Miranda July's feature debut is worth the time.

88
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
Disturbing, maddening, often confusing, but also charming, engaging and challenging in all the best ways.

83
Portland Oregonian
Shawn Levy
Refreshing and disorienting movie.

83
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
A playfully offbeat, willfully wide-eyed tale of lonely, inarticulate people looking for connection in a disconnected world.

80
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A wise, funny film about the little leaps of faith it takes to just get through the day.

80
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The distinction of this lovely, if slightly tentative, debut feature is its willingness to set forth mysteries of the human heart without solving them; everyone's fate stays unsealed.
80
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Hums with compassion for its outlandish, lonely but always sweet characters.

80
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Nathan Rabin
A quirkily funny, startlingly assured comedy-drama.

80
The New York Times
Dana Stevens
Though her movie has a clear narrative line, and might even be classified as romantic comedy, it is also a meticulously constructed visual artifact, diffidently introducing the playful, rebus-like qualities of installation art to the conventions of narrative cinema.

80
Slate
David Edelstein
Admirable and wondrously strange--as well as gorgeous, funny, dreamlike, mesmerizing, squirmy, and occasionally annoying.

80
Newsweek
David Ansen
Has a flavor all its own-sweet, whimsical, homegrown. A quirky romantic for the 21st century, July finds humor and magic in places where no one has looked before.

80
Empire
Liz Beardsworth
A frank look at 21st century mores, this succeeds in saying new things about anxieties as old as the human race.

75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Leah McLaren
Will make you glad to be living on the same planet as Miranda July.

75
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
A mixed package, but often fun to watch.

75
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Offbeat, daring, and the kind of offering Hollywood will never come close to embracing.

70
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
July's witty ode to only-connecting sustains a delicate tone of pensive whimsy.

70
Variety
Scott Foundas
Brings a fresh perspective to age-old human dilemmas.

70
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
These characters are touching and sympathetic to the extent that they're lonely, and that's what most of them are most of the time.

70
Film Threat
Daniel Wible
A real treasure in the guise of yet another Sundance dramedy.

67
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
July sees the world in a most unexpected way, and it's a shame that Me and You's preciousness sometimes overwhelms that uniqueness of vision.

63
USA Today
Mike Clark
There are some notable oddballs in the filmmaking debut of performance artist Miranda July, whose lead performance in this Sundance winner for "originality" is the most appealing thing about it.

63
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
Me and You and Everyone We Know brings to mind the work of happily downbeat, bad-boy provocateur Todd Solondz (Happiness, Palindromes), but July is more kind to her oddballs, although she displays a disturbing aptitude for perversity that Solondz would applaud.

60
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The result is discomfiting, funny and oddly touching.

50
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A vanity project by a moderately talented artist that has moments of real brilliance in it.

50
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Me and You takes a couple of neat swipes at the pretentiousness of the art scene, but as a commentary on the difficulty of connecting in contemporary society, it's too precious by half.

50
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A hit-and-miss affair. It has moments of unexpected, offbeat comedy, but most of the time neither the characters nor the situations engage the viewer.

50
Dallas Observer
Jean Oppenheimer
As an actress, she (July) is annoying as hell, with a quirkiness so labored, she seems to be begging for our affection. As a director she is much better.

50
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Just creepy and unsavory at moments, but pleased to be so.
