The New York Times Dana Stevens
An unexpected delight, a film that weds the humor and magic of a folk tale with a very modern feel for the psychological dynamics between men and women and for the subtle politics of male rivalry in a macho culture. It has been made and acted with intelligence and evident love, which deserves to be requited.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Bill Gallo
This lovely movie, simply and beautifully shot in Brazil's northeastern countryside by cinematographer Breno Silveira, is satisfying from start to finish.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman
The film probably won't draw in audiences who aren't already fans of the quirky, subtitled pastoral, but it's more than worth a look.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Loren King
Manages to find the magic through its documentary style, and manages to find the erotic in the commonplace. Not since the glory days of Italian neo-realism has lust among the peasants looked so good.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
Casé, with her sturdy, elemental body and shining eyes, is the reason phrases like ''inner beauty'' were invented, and she's also the reason this idealistic, naturalistic film by Rio de Janeiro born Andrucha Waddington has been such a success at festivals around the world.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
Waddington's wonderfully textured film is an unforced work of naturalism.
Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
An adroit, beautifully acted, sophisticated film with some drier-than-dust humor about unsophisticated people and is impressive as such. It's too bad that it's not more engaging much earlier on.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Holly Willis
Skirting overt politics, Waddington opts instead for a subtle portrait of emotions, and a story that's told through glances, languorous pacing and breathtaking landscapes.
Read Full Review >Film.com Peter Brunette
A quiet film, certainly, but it's filled with small touches that manage to get deeply under your skin by the time the final credits roll.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The most extraordinary thing about Me You Them is that no one behaves as though anything remotely out of the ordinary is going on.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Marta Barber
Thanks to a superb cast headed by the popular Brazilian actress Regina Casé, this unorthodox tale is ultimately believable.
Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan
Little gem of a movie.
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Works because the story is sympathetic to the feelings of the characters, observes them as individuals, is not concerned with the sensational aspects of their household but in the gradual way practical matters work themselves out.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Frank Lovece
Like the hardscrabble lives of this isolated wasteland, it's equal parts unforgiving white-heat aridity and golden late-afternoon glow.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
Hardly a deep examination of gender relations or character, but in its unsentimental way it's a tender and charming story of friendship and tolerance.
Washington Post Desson Thomson
The story moves episodically, almost painstakingly.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Rita Kempley
The region's stark beauty and the filmmaker's eye for composition compensate somewhat for its predictability and obvious if misguided feminist agenda.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Jessica Winter
Me You Them can't find a rhythm or a consistent tone.

Dario B. gave it a9:
Waddington's movie's casting and script tell us a sweet, shrewd and convincing lesson on tolerance and on the human power to overcome material hardship, prejudice and stereotyping. Visually, Me, You, Them is superb; and, musically, another plain jewel by Gilberto Gil.
Ken S. gave it a 0:
Appallingly bad.
Ashleigh C. gave it an 8:
So beautifully told.
