Review of Me and You and Everyone We Know

This is a warm, quirky masterpiece. Miranda July writes, directs, and stars in this comedy about connecting with people in the strangest ways possible. It starts off with an unlucky shoe salesman who is going through a painful divorce (for him). He packs his things, moving into a one-bedroom apartment with his two kids, and to make sure his kids still know their dad loves them as well as their mother, he smiles as he pours lighter fluid on his hand and ignites it. The movie shows how the smallest of interactions can lead to great life-changing moments, often when you don’t expect it—often when you are the most vulnerable. The film shows that it’s OK to be afraid, lonely, sad. Everyone’s trying to do their best, though it doesn’t always seem that way. Wonderfully written, very witty, and contains one of the most hilarious scenes involving ASCII poop you’ll ever see. Yes. ASCII poop.
