Movie Review: Me and You and Everyone We Know

Me and You and Everyone We Know is an unpleasant movie. The characters are uniformly weird, damaged, strange or offensive. There is no character development. There is no story arc. There are no traditional dramatic structures. The lack of these does not necessarily mean a film is bad, but this one is.

 I would tell you what this movie is about, but it is not really about anything. It is a loose collection of characters who don't act in the way normal people act. They do nothing of significance, and they do it often. We care nothing for these people. When the credits finally rolled, I wondered how anyone could like or recommend this movie (it won several awards and was well reviewed when it was released) or even how anyone could think it was a movie worth making. 

I would guess that professional reviewers view movies like this through a strange lens that tells them the film makers must have intended something deeper than what is seen. They don't understand it, so it must be good. Well, I don't think this movie was good, not in the least little bit.
