Single dad Richard (John Hawkes) meets Christine (Miranda July), a starving artist who moonlights as a cabbie. They awkwardly attempt to start a romance, but Richard's divorce has left him emotionally damaged, and he struggles to remain open to the possibilities of this new relationship. Meanwhile, Richard's sons, the adolescent Peter (Miles Thompson) and 6-year-old Robby (Brandon Ratcliff), take part in their own clumsy experiments with the opposite sex.

Critics Consensus

Miranda July's debut feature is a charmingly offbeat and observant film about people looking for love.

A perfectly-realized vision: from the sound design to the acting to the direction. For a first film, I was astounded.

Newsweek

"Me and You" has a refreshingly unhysterical (but sometimes hysterically funny) take on what it's like for kids to grow up in a world of Internet sex, broken families and precocious sexual curiosity.

July's tender, original movie is a wonderfully uplifting experience.

It's a powerful, beautiful and often funny look at life as we truly live it in all its mundane moments and simple connections.

Rated: 4.0/4.0

Film Frenzy

The sort of movie specifically designed to win awards at hipper-than-thou film festivals (and it did).

Rated: 2/4

I cannot believe it has taken me so many years to finally discover Miranda July. Looking for a movie with a great Rotten Tomatoes score, I came across "Kajillionaires." Amazed by that film, I next went to this, her debut film. Believe me when I tell you that you are in for a rare and magical experience when you skip into her world. Now I get to experience everything else she's done. I've got my smile ready.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Its like a Todd Solondz film in that way it looks at weird human relationships but it doesn't have the same humor or emotional power. Terribly obnoxious and smug.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Shock Therapy R

Discombobulated amalgamation of non sequitur experiences. July gets coherent six years later with a brilliant meaningful film called "The Future"

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

To me, this was a distinctly quirky and bizarre film. There is a sort of a plot but a confusing one and if anything, too many sub-plots. Its a bit seedy and I wasn't especially interested in what happened. I wouldn't call it funny, or especially thoughtful, just...quirky, in a weird way frankly. Suffice to say, I wouldn't recommend it, no.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
