It says on the back of the dvd 'This years Lost in Translation' which is just silly - you'd think that a film reviewer would know better! If you are going to say it is like another film in order to get people interested in it I would definitely compare it to 'Thumbsucker', as a theme of awkward sexuality of the young is evident in both films, and they do share a 'feel'. It is less plot driven (and Thumbsucker wasn't plot driven really) - but Me and you... is really just a drift through lives, looking at a part of ordinary lives that makes people feel uncomfortable. Watching the scenes with the teenage girls and the fat bloke made me feel very uncomfortable, and I must admit at that point I was saying to my kids (who are boys) that is just NOT what I behaved like as a teen (and the one with the teenage boy). And that is the truth! Is it a US thing? I don't know. It lacks the stars of Thumbsucker, but this is not the kind of film that needs stars - and some of the main characters are children. The film takes real risks with children's awareness of adult desires (or not) and I would imagine that some people will hate that - but the scene at the computer is actually hilarious in itself, and the only reason it is so difficult is that we know that our children who are allowed unsupervised time on the internet could very well get into those kinds of conversations. I find it difficult to rate - it does 'just end' and feels cut short - sloppily finished or consistent with the ethos of the film which seems to be 'life is like that'.Read full review
Off-beat and tender comedy about lost and lonely souls trying to connect. They include a depressed shoe salesman who sets fire to his hand to make a point, a teenage boy involved in naughty games with two sex-obsessed girls, and a little girl who collects kitchen gadgets for the "hope chest" of her unborn daughter. All very odd but rather charming in a nutty sort of way.
In Miranda July's unique look at contemporary life (in which she also serves as screenwriter and lead actress), a lonely shoe salesman and an eccentric performance artist struggle to connect with each other in an isolating modern world... Christine Jesperson (July) is a struggling artist and cab driver who uses her talents and imagination to draw nearer her dreams and objects of desire. One such is Richard Swersey (Hawkes), a newly-single father of two boys who is hoping for amazing things, yet panics upon meeting the captivating Christine. But in a world where the mundane is transcendent and people seek meaningful connections despite the risk, anything magical can - and will - happen! Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival as well as the Critics Week Grand Prize, Golden Camera, Prix Regards Jeune and Young Critics awards at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.Read full review
