  1. There's much subtle beauty in the last movie completed by Merchant Ivory Productions before Merchant's untimely death.

    The acting is uniformly superb.
  3. 60
    Terrio keeps the multiple stories flowing smoothly, and the setting goes a long way to justify the web of fortuitous interconnections -- New York is the ultimate two-degrees-of-separation town.

    Working in Terribly Serious mode, rookie director Chris Terrio proves as pompous as filmmakers three times his age.

    I don't know how people can do cartwheels for a terrible movie like "You, me and Everyone we Know", and pan this one. It has really good dialougue and acting. Elizabeth Banks is going to be huge--she's great in everything, comedy and drama. This is a solid, entertaining movie worth seeing. Expand

    Interesting storyline, excellent cast, and good performances. Poor sound or an inferior print resulted in my not giving this film a higher rating. I missed too many crucial lines. Even when a film is operating within the confines of a low budget, there is no excuse for second rate sound or substandard equipment. Expand

    A movie that means well with very good actors but limited dialogue and predictable TV sitcom-type behavior. Glenn Close does her best, and that's worth a watch. Expand

    This is a terrible movie that got some good reviews because it has a gay love scene.
