Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
Definition eludes the delicate pleasures of this marvelous, idiosyncratic movie collage.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
A film that with quiet confidence creates a fragile magic.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
Disturbing, maddening, often confusing, but also charming, engaging and challenging in all the best ways.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
A playfully offbeat, willfully wide-eyed tale of lonely, inarticulate people looking for connection in a disconnected world.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Ann Hornaday
A wise, funny film about the little leaps of faith it takes to just get through the day.
Read Full Review >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.
Washington Post Desson Thomson
Hums with compassion for its outlandish, lonely but always sweet characters.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
A quirkily funny, startlingly assured comedy-drama.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Slate David Edelstein
Admirable and wondrously strange--as well as gorgeous, funny, dreamlike, mesmerizing, squirmy, and occasionally annoying.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Empire Liz Beardsworth
A frank look at 21st century mores, this succeeds in saying new things about anxieties as old as the human race.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Leah McLaren
Will make you glad to be living on the same planet as Miranda July.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
A mixed package, but often fun to watch.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
Offbeat, daring, and the kind of offering Hollywood will never come close to embracing.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Jessica Winter
July's witty ode to only-connecting sustains a delicate tone of pensive whimsy.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Daniel Wible
A real treasure in the guise of yet another Sundance dramedy.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
A vanity project by a moderately talented artist that has moments of real brilliance in it.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >The New Yorker Anthony Lane
Just creepy and unsavory at moments, but pleased to be so.

Kay O. gave it an8:
Touched my heart and my funnybone in a very charming and touching way. the weirdness of the characters' actions were a deft caricature of internal states we could find in so many of us.
Cables gave it a4:
One of the most pretentious films I've ever seen.
Steven F. gave it a0:
Quite possibly the single most pretentious movie ever made. I cannot stand quirkiness. It is too often substituted for character development (see Zach Braff films for ample examples), and in this film goes all-out with a bombardment of forced cuteness and make-believe enlightenment that makes one retch instead of even being mildly interested. Since when has putting nylons on a character's ears or having her touch stickers substituted for character development? Never, that's when. And then there was the little girl who collected for a dowry, which I guess was supposed to be a statement about womanhood, but was instead just annoying. Utterly abhorrently pretentious filmmaking of the worst kind.
Jeremy F. gave it a10:
Unbelievably, and UNEXPLAINABLY perfect in every way!
Chris B. gave it a0:
Crap. Shows the void that contemporary art is dominated by.
Rick V. gave it a10:
I loved it--a touching, human drama that was also funny and sad and very original in what it wanted to say.
Joe S. gave it a6:
It was enjoyable to watch; a lot of pretty images. But it doesn't add up to a movie. I can't believe all the 10's/100's. I really doubt people's/reviewers' credibility now. 10? 100? This movie is as good as it gets? This is as good as The Godfather and Gone With The Wind? Even Ebert gave it four stars. Now I have to doubt even him. A 10 or 100 means the best of the best. This movie -- enjoyable as it is -- is FAR from that. The words "masterpiece" and "masterwork" are thrown around so carelessly now. Incidentally, I agree that most of the risque child/teen sex-related material was unnecessary and served no dramatic purpose. An enjoyable
