Miranda July's feature film debut, "Me and You and Everyone We Know," opens this week at the new IFC Center. The film overall seems to be getting good reviews, with Jessica Winter (The Village Voice) calling it "a witty ode to only-connecting (which) sustains a delicate tone of pensive whimsy," and Nathan Rabin (The Onion) glowing about how the film "represents a glorious anomaly: a near-perfect debut feature from someone with total mastery of her material, assisted by a uniformly stellar cast and a superb cinematographer able to perfectly execute her vision." Armond White (New York Press), one of the film's few detractors, notes that "it's contemporary high art, made as though no cinema about human experience had ever existed" and how "after 100 years of less precious but revelatory filmmaking, this alt-cinema is inane."
