It's so obvious that Talented Rebel is just a bitter wannabe cancer ridden filmaker who has nothing better to do with his time but to bag on people who are actually doing it. Miranda July wrote, directed and starred in a feature film. That in itself is an amazing acomplishment. Keep on being a rebel manit's gotten you this far!

I must agree with the original post in at least one regard. I left watching this film thinking that it was like a rather lack-luster student film expanded to feature length. The cinematography bordered on incompetency at times.

I hated this film, too, but for a lot of different reasons. I hated it for the same reason I hate Miranda July's fiction-writing, and the directing and writing of a lot of other young artists out there. There seems to be this whole new trend of, how shall I put it, "cutesy"-ness, or, rather, effeminacy throughout the modern mediums of literature and film. Movies and fiction about the TRUE NATURE OF LOVE, or FINDING LOVE IN PLACES YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT, or SEEING THE INNER BEAUTY OF UGLY THINGS (including ugly people), or, worst of all, this whole big, get-you-tissue-box out concentration on CHILDREN, CHILDREN, CHILDREN, their innocence, their cuteness, their, gosh, remarkable insight.
And if you're about to accuse me of chauvinism or sexism, then let me tell you that this is coming from a gay teenaged male; one who lives under the stereotype of just thateffeminacy. Well, excuse me, but I like a movie with a little brawn, some real characters, difficult situations, and actual drama. Sofia Coppola, Todd Field, David Lynch, and Quentin Tarantino are some of my favorite directors. While not all of them make gruff, rough, masculine movies, their movies are also not weak-kneed, thin-skinned landfills of cloying filmmaking. The best movie of 2005, the year Me and You and Everyone We Know came out, was L'Enfant, followed by V for Vendetta, and then Million Dollar Baby. Now those are some real movies. -

V for Vendetta sucked ass.
All the movie did was try to get YOU to feel sorry for everyone excluding the "over-the-top" facist catholics. A good film? It was a total CheeseFest.
That film was for people who are easily moved emotionally. -

I'm with you. I seriously do not want to see this person, or anything she is involved with ever again. T2000he sad thing that she actually appeals to some pathetic little group of people who are the type of people who will go online into bulletin boards (such as this on IMDB) and start to tell EVERYONE that this girl is AMAZING in her acting & writing. ugh
I would say something like "I hope she dies tomorrow" because that is really how I feel - but I would never wish death upon anyone. -

You have a right to your opinion, but remember, there are a lot of us who like Miranda July and her work, and because of that she should be able to keep making films. You are not the only filmgoer in the universe.
gaila, ot kaip tikrai gaila
