Me and You and Everyone We Know

This has the kind of independent feel and spirit that seems destined for Sundance. It's an occasionally touching, though subtle human comedy that is as bold in some areas as its filmmaking is naive. But the naivete is part of its charm -- there's a sense of wonderment to lives and outlook of the fractured characters which seems refreshingly un-cynical. I do, however, agree that the film never fully finds itself. It at times feels lost in its eccentricities, which may be due to the fact that its director, Miranda July, began and continues to be a performance artist. It's a film that leaves you with much to admire and much to smile about except for a film itself.
