You and Me is a romance about a young couple who find love when both of them are trying to avoid it. I was charmed by the chemistry between George Raft and Sylvia Sidney. You can see the affection the two characters share, and feel the pain when one of them feels betrayed or let down by the other. I was also intrigued by the plot of the film as it felt different from other movies I've seen before. Probably the most unique aspect was the resolution, which was far from what I expected walking into that scene. I also appreciated that it had a bit of humor added to the crime drama established up to that point.
Despite some of the more interesting and charming elements of You and Me, I wasn't totally enamored with the story. I often have trouble with romances that manufacture tension between the two protagonists simply by having them avoid a simple conversation. I realize that is exactly what can happen in real world relationships, but it still frustrates me to watch it. I'll give this movie the benefit of the doubt because they give a reason for their lack of communication, but it still bugs me. I also struggled with finding an emotional connection with the two leads, which would have helped when trying to sympathize with them. Aside from that, You and Me is still a nice film and one I would be fine with watching again.
