Me And You And Everyone We Know
What a surprisingly brilliant film this is. It takes scenes which rightfully should be wrong and immoral and makes them hilarious, quirky and most importantly, loveable. Miranda July is a rather odd taste, a point which has been proved by her mumblecore drama The Future. The Future was narrated by a cat who gave soliloquies on life in general, this is life in general. However, this version on life cannot be true; people are too nice. John Hawkes, brilliantly playing a lonely, separated shoe salesman. He and the delightfully quirky July are fizzing with kooky chemistry and Hawkes' children are brilliantly acted. Sylvie, the slightly OCD child collecting items for her future family is the best developed child actor, all of which, incidentally, are hilarious and charming. A wonderful film.
