The We and the I Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Chris Chang
Michel Gondry, working with nonprofessional actors, takes this one-location setup and-traffic conditions permitting-takes off.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
All of the kids are good in their roles, mostly as characters one assumes resemble themselves. And as any actor will tell you, playing yourself is one of the toughest gigs around.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Gondry's film is like a huge community, alive and -- despite a layer of protective swagger -- full of sympathy and love.
Shared Darkness
Brent Simon
An artful, scrambled, energetic blend of youthful connection and hormonally charged carousing [that] works more as a caffeinated conveyance of feeling than an actual plotted story.
culturevulture.net
Beverly Berning
French director Michel Gondry takes a select group of Bronx teenagers, puts them on a bus, and lets them loose. For some of us, it's a scary ride.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Gondry captures some intermittent compelling moments, but overall the film lacks much depth or insight.
Seattle Weekly
Sean Axmaker
The We and the I is less a film than a social-studies experiment, an after-school project by a bunch of high-school kids exploring that eternal teen tension between the individual and the group.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Imagine a student video project with professional production values.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Gondry has talent, and I think he enjoyed being with these youngsters, but the film suffers in trying to impose something vaguely like a story on a framework that boils down to teen high jinks during a bus ride.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
"The We and the I" is a collection of very thin stories, many of which feel incomplete.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Elizabeth Horkley
Organic interactions are interrupted by Gondry's words, or abandoned in favor of fantasy sequences. The film's verisimilitude too often takes a backseat to conventional storytelling and Gondry's whimsical aesthetic.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
By 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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Michał Oleszczyk
A vivid snapshot of an interracial group of teenagers as they take a bus ride home on the last day of school.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Fake documentaries annoy me - why not put in the effort and deliver the real thing? - and this one is not only aimless and stiff, it also rings false.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"The We and the I" neither scolds nor sentimentalizes its young characters. Instead the film invites viewers, of whatever age, to immerse themselves in the chaos, glee and heartache of a long ride home on the last day of school.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
There's a lot to love about the film, but it can get buried under the attempts to tell everyone's story at once.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
At its finest and most affecting, The We and the I is a window onto youth's forever moments ...
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
A delirious representation of incipient personalities in bloom, its form as amorphous and reckless as the vibrant youths it portrays.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
It feels inordinately unfocused, and a last-minute swerve into earnest speechifying doesn't help.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Rambling and unpolished, the film has a scrappy charm that springs organically from the characters and their stories rather than being artificially coaxed.
