They have to waste the fifteen seconds of their lives to read your "critique". You didn't like the movie. I respect your opinion. But you should know that the screening I just walked out of was full of people who laughed throughout the film. So please don't presume to speak for other people.

"Atleast I'm not making people pay to read my posts. "
She's not forcing anyone to watch her films. BTW you wasted my ti5b4me, I'd pay to get you erased out of my memory, I might resort to alcohol now before I loose all faith to humanity.

You shouldn't make people do anything, I love her film and I think there's a fair share of others that will concur with me. And I know there are people, like you, that hateed it. But you know, who cares? You shouldn't make people "not be allowed to make films" or "be in them" because you don't control people. Let us think for ourselves of what we like and we won't care or bother to hear you hating it when we like it.

Actually I just got done seeing this movie for the 2nd time in the theatre and I liked it just as much as when I saw it a few weeks ago. I think July has put something out there with a lot more depth and uniqueness than most of what is playing these days. I loved this movie and I'll most definitely be buying it on DVD when it comes out.
Maybe if you weren't so ignorant you could see all of whats good about this film. -

"Talented Rebel" interesting name you've got there. AHAHAHAHAHA.
HAHAhahaha.

I hope you're off somewhere being talented and rebellious, right now.
Miranda July made a wonderful film. I can't wait to see it again. -

this is an incredibly good film. i can't believe it was made (and distributed) for quite the opposite reasons you noted. i'm so happy that hollywood saw potential in this quirky, heartfelt, brilliant script with no 'name' actors who were so brutally honest and unaffected. the characters were desperate and complex and i want to see more movies like this one. this is a sweet answer to reality tv, fear-based entertainment, and so-called 'relationship dramas.' i loved it.

Talentedrebel,
After reading your post, you have no right criticizing anyone's writing. You couldn't be more wrong about Miranda July's writing abilities. She creates such a dear and lovable world in "Me and You and Everyone We Know."
Perhaps I would've taken your opinion more seriously had you not decided to be so childish about it (the "pooh" joke was so lame). Good job with your awful review, and good luck with more of your crappy reviews in the future!

OH PLEASE!!?!? Spare me the details. It SUCKED! My opinion, as well as many other peoples.
This film was weird, weird, WEIRD!
So if you're into WEIRD films and you yourself are a weirdo, then maybe you pride yourself in saying it was so great. Fine, I'll give it that- IT WAS WEIRD.
Nothing about this film was "real" or "everyday", and most certainly not worthy of being at a mainstream theater. The fact of the matter is I've never met people or a group of people like hers portrayed in the film, and I've met a lot of people in my life!
It's like watching a student film on A&E or something (the kind they show at 2am when you're 1/2 asleep), or some crappy film festival. Are you going to tell me you thought the film quality was good too? Sure, if you're into the retro look.
Glad you guys liked it (easily pleased, I see) but as for myself as well as the group I went with- some fell asleep and others walked out of their wishing they hadn't.
Yes, it had it's funny moments, but not worthy enough for people to be raving about it, or to be paying for it. -

You're absolutely right. There are no real people in her film. I've seen lots of real people in my life, I know them pretty well. And they aren't in this film, no sir. I see real people everyday, in fact, everyone I meet is a real person. Frankly, I get kinda sick of them. So I'm glad that when I pay my 15 dollars for movie, popcorn and soda, that I'm not subjected to watching real people.
Thank you Miranda July for putting different people on the screen. -

The humor did not appeal to you. I admit it's not for everyone. However, it must have appealed to quite a few people that matter in this industry since it has won many prestigious awards. This did not happen accidentally. I thought it was hilarious and tender and I am going to see it again tonight. The film quality may have not been high but the quality of the composition of the images was amazing. So, its not your type of movie or aesthetic, that's cool. But I think its a bit extreme to say Miranda doesn't deserve to make movies when there is obviously a lot of interest in her vision. She is a very talented artist. Everyone out there should check out www.learningtoloveyoumore.com. Its an amazing site that Miranda developed which posts creative assignments that people can complete and submit and have posted on the site. I think its great that she wants to help people lead more creative lives and give them a venue to show their work.
Regardless, everyone deserves to voice their opinions but why spend your time writing hate mail? -

Keep an open mind "talented rebel". The fact that your basing your opinion on "it's weird" makes you loose all validity. Kind of pathetic that you don't understand something so instead of trying to figure it out, you get mad. Poor kid.
