Leave your thoughts about The We and the I.
| HeyUGuysCraig SkinnerAmusing, oddly gripping and ultimately emotional, The We and the I is another triumph from Michel Gondry, something of an experiment that has paid off no end. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMichał OleszczykA vivid snapshot of an interracial group of teenagers as they take a bus ride home on the last day of school. |
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsWhile initially a little heavy-handed as it sets up its character-heavy format its strength comes as its young, inexperienced, cast make their impact on the film, with the closing scenes powerful and subtly moving. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyAfter several disappointing films (both studio and indies), Gondry is back on terra ferma with this account of youth in the Bronx, which is loose, rambling, and occasionally funny and poignant. |
| Slant MagazineJesse CataldoA delirious representation of incipient personalities in bloom, its form as amorphous and reckless as the vibrant youths it portrays. |
| OregonianMarc MohanBy the end of the line, we've been granted a privileged peek at today's youth that's intimidating and nostalgia-inducing in equal measure. |
| The SkinnyJamie DunnThe film's claustrophobic one-location setting is continually opening out thanks to comic digressions and gonzo flashbacks, which are vividly brought to life in Gondry's trademark sticky-back-plastic style. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeAt its finest and most affecting, The We and the I is a window onto youth's forever moments ... |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoRealistic look at teen culture has drinking, sex, language. |
| The ListPaul GallagherGondry's imagination is fully alive to the stories playing out in our culture, and he's happily finding new ways to retell them. |
