Critics Consensus

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

Brandon Judell IndieWire A perfectly-realized vision: from the sound design to the acting to the direction. For a first film, I was astounded. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review David Ansen 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. Mar 14, 2018 Full Review Liz Moody Empire Magazine July's tender, original movie is a wonderfully uplifting experience. Rated: 4/5 Aug 19, 2005 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 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 Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The sort of movie specifically designed to win awards at hipper-than-thou film festivals (and it did). Rated: 2/4 May 16, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News Writer/director Miranda July's exquisite romantic comedy is one of the most original and unique films of recent memory. Rated: A Nov 19, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Kevin L I know Miranda July likes the wacky and the quirky, but this was too much of the wacky and way too much of the quirky. Throw in some kooky, and some twisted sexualizing of a seven-year old, and you lose me. Seriously, what the hell with this little boy and online sex talk? Couldn't take it any way artistically. I found the lead characters hard to believe as actual ppl, esp. July's character. Unless she's mentally ill. It had potential of being a really warm, sweet flick about an eccentric pair of ppl finding one another, and the dynamics of adolescents stuck between childhood and YA ages. Not sure how Ebert gave this crackpot movie 4 stars. Macaroni? More like crack-a-roni. 2.4 stars Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Godfrey D Its a greatest movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Bulgantamir B It was the best movie of that time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Mr. M 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 12/09/23 Full Review Alec B 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 10/13/23 Full Review isla s 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 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
