Armond White is officially the King of Haterade.
Is there another critic that can dismiss a film with such casual vitriol and erudition? Check out this opening sentence:
"If I had never seen a film by D.W. Griffith, Antonioni, Ozu, John Ford, Vincente Minnelli or Prince, I might have been impressed by performance artist Miranda July's Cannes award-winning directorial debut, Me and You and Everyone We Know. "
Yeesh.
For the record, I thought July's film was charming; funny-sad and whimsical and odd, bordering on the precocious but with talent and wit that justifies it.
