Synopsis

ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW is a poetic and penetrating observation of how people struggle to connect with one another in an isolating and contemporary world. Christine Jesperson is a lonely artist and “Eldercab” driver who uses her fantastical artistic visions to draw her aspirations and objects of desire closer to her. Richard Swersey (John Hawkes), a newly single shoe salesman and father of two boys, is prepared for amazing things to happen. But when he meets the captivating Christine, he panics. Life is not so oblique for Richard's seven-year-old Robby, who is having a risqué internet romance with a stranger, and his fourteen- year-old brother Peter who becomes the guinea pig for neighborhood girls— practicing for their future of romance and marriage.

In July's modern world, the mundane is transcendent and everyday people become radiant characters who speak their innermost thoughts, act on secret impulses, and experience truthful human moments that at times approach the surreal. They seek togetherness through tortured routes and find redemption in small moments that connect them to someone else on earth.

The film has garnered awards at the Sundance Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, San Francisco International Film Festival, Philadelphia Film Festival, and the Independent Spirit Awards.

Reviews

"Definition eludes the delicate pleasures of this marvelous, idiosyncratic movie collage."

   - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"Every so often, a movie blindsides you, leaving you feeling different, enlightened, possibly even improved. Me and You and Everyone We Know is such a movie."

   - Peter Debruge, Premiere

"By turns comic and tender, tragic and absurd. But throughout, it gives off what is surely one of the greatest of moviegoing pleasures -- the sense of an artist seeing the world from some private vantage that is as original as it is truthful."

   - Scott Foundas, LA Weekly

"A film that with quiet confidence creates a fragile magic."

   - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"Totally original yet filled with familiar human frailties,"

   - Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
