What to Know

Critics Consensus

Michel Gondry's whimsical dramedy is occasionally unfocused, but it's still an imaginative and poignant take on the emotional complexities of young people.

Chris Chang Film Comment Magazine Jun 14, 2013
Michel Gondry, working with nonprofessional actors, takes this one-location setup and-traffic conditions permitting-takes off. Go to Full Review
Rick Groen Globe and Mail May 17, 2013
3/4
Credit Gondry, like Tocqueville before him, with at least re-examining tired clichés and scraping the rust off stereotypes. Go to Full Review

2/4
An occasionally interesting glimpse into the lives of a diverse group of urban teens and their struggles, but also a film that's overly long and often annoying. Go to Full Review
C.J. Prince Way Too Indie Jun 22, 2019

Bernard Boo Way Too Indie Apr 11, 2019
7.5/10
While The We and the I is visually more grounded in reality than most of Gondry's famous works, it's still incredibly colorful and striking. Virtually the entirety of the film takes place inside the bus, with the illusion of real time. Go to Full Review
Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Dec 17, 2018
For better or worse, "The We and the I" also affords all of its characters a chance to shine, enriching the stories of Michael and Teresa, who have the longest way to go both home and otherwise, but may short change audiences. Go to Full Review
