Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)
Director: Miranda July
Movie review
From Time Out New York
July's first feature (after several years' worth of media art) walks a precarious line of Sundance-approved quirkiness and uninflected humanism. But walk it it does, and well. July's characters—primarily a gentle shoe salesman (Hawkes, of TV's Deadwood) and a desperately lonely video artist (the director herself)—occasionally feel like writerly constructs, as do certain narrative neatnesses. Nevertheless, the pull of the characterizations is undeniable, and July has clearly learned how to direct actors—particularly her younger performers, who almost single-handedly save the film from a fate worse than death: forced indie naïveté.Author: JR
