About the Film:
Life with a seven-month-old is filled with love, joy, and…monotony. The days are long, but there is beauty if you know where to look.
Film Critic, Randy Meyers Comment:
Casey Beck’s elliptical “You/Me,” evocatively captures the intimate connections that a mom has with children during these Shelter In Place times. You/Me is quiet, immersive and touching — in the best ways possible.
