This unexpected pleasure from Brazil has the feel of a magical fable crossing paths with a contemporary comedy about sexual politics. Regina Casé stars as Darlene, a young, unmarried mother who returns to her dusty hometown with a baby in tow. Over the next few years, she is courted and impregnated by one man, then another, and another, and another. Promiscuous? Well, it's more the case that Darlene (and actress Casé) is a strong-willed force of nature, undeniably aware of her earthy eroticism. Over time, she convinces all her suitors to forge an unusual family with her and the children, and it works. Shot in a bath of natural light by Breno Silveira, with a wonderful score by Gilberto Gil and sophisticated direction (never veering into prurience or mere prettiness) by Andrucha Waddington, Me You Them is a subtle, lovely work about the heart's capacity for invention and acceptance. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Funny & Interesting.......2006-02-19

This movie is funny and very interesting. It can be a little slow for the "now generation". Each child that is born looks nothing like her husband. The husbands female cousin has smart remarks with each arrival -- priceless. Very real world rural Brazil. I read other reviews focusing on birth control etc., but I found that I was looking forward to the next child to see how the child would look and the reaction around the arrival. If you take life too seriously and trying to look for hidden meanings/agendas -Not for you - Just enjoy it for what it is.....
Life goes on..........

5 out of 5 stars Terrific plot and acting, wise and warm - a classic!.......2006-01-26

I never write raves. But this is a very underestimated film. The screenplay is spare and polished. The actors - sublime. Regina Case is amazing in this role. Should have won all kinds of awards. Completely absorbing. Best film I've seen in a long time.

No violence, restrained sex - real life, with somebody you are really rooting for.

5 out of 5 stars Another Brazilian Jewel..........2005-11-03

For those who know a little about the wonderful history of cinema in Brazil, this movie arrives with a taste of caipirinha and a very powerful way to show that even in the desert, it is possible to bear fruit. Darlene is a contrast to the environment she lives in. She bears children easily, all natural births, when outside all you see is abandonment, poverty, and the desert. She is also a trademark of brazilian woman: strong, determined, beautiful, creative, and most of all, human.

Walter Sales outdid himself this time, and I am very happy, as a brazilian myself, to see our cinema reaching the grounds of major nations in the world, like America, as a way for others to learn a bit more about other cultures.

3 out of 5 stars Brazilian family values.......2005-04-21

This story of a libidinous mother (who has apparently never heard of birth control of any kind) living in the Brazilian backwoods presents some of the best and worst of Brazilian cinema. On the one hand: beautiful cinematography, which is no easy feat for a bleak landscape, and authenticity in sets, dialogue and characters. On the other hand: the seemingly obligatory depiction of squalor both physical and moral, and a storyline that only intermittently entertains. Sinto muito, but the film so merece tres estrelas.

2 out of 5 stars slow moving and boring.......2005-01-22

I've seen quite a few brazilian flicks. To prove the point at hand, it's just obvious and very slow moving. The plot is not very intriguing.. not what I expected.
