CRAZY IN LOVE

Today's film was Miranda July's

Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)

July is a performance artist. This is her first movie. There is no question that there is art in every performance.

A delicate story told with almost hammer blow vignettes is a paradox in its very being.

One surprise after another. Some visual but mostly verbal.

People going through what people go through.

July stars with John Hawkes who is one of those actors you have seen a hundred times. This time you will really see him.

Kids. There are kids. Good kids, bad kids, precocious kids.

The film is inhabited by everyone.

It is colorful. Plain sets brought to life with vivid colors.

The prolonged ending/resolution is very satisfying. Funny, sad and compelling.

I liked it. I would easily see it again. A 4 out of a Netflix5 and maybe a 5 if I think about it in the right way.
