Pandemic lock-down was such a universal experience that it was inevitable there would be a film about it. James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan star in Together, award-winning director Stephen Daldry’s take on that. The film follows a British couple from the beginning of lock-down to the present, as they shelter in place with their young son, taking us through the many shared experiences of the pandemic and the particular personal struggles of this family. The problem is that the unnamed couple McAvoy and Horgan play are notably irritating people who hate each other and complain vehemently to us, the audience, about their mutual dislike. Daldry’s film is being billed as a comedy but it is more of the uncomfortable humor type in this lock-down tale with...

Lives have been so thoroughly tested since the start of the coronavirus pandemic that the notion of reliving any aspect of it through art has been a nagging question for storytellers. When is recent history a too-soon scenario, and when is it a just-right dive?
The Stephen Daldry-directed two-hander “Together,” chronicling a comfortably upper-middle-class London couple’s experience over a year of home-sheltering in the UK, carries aspects of risk, but in all too many ways, it’s a predictable, tiring wade as both a domestic tale and a pandemic yarn.
Where the details of enforced isolation as they relate to bickering urbanites may generate some dramatic interest, what’s invariably triggered throughout Dennis Kelly’s overtly theatrical screenplay is the grim, wearying belief that some disasters don’t fit so easily into the confines of a relationship comedy. (Even Steven Knight’s London-set pandemic story “Locked Down” from...

Right off the bat, let’s acknowledge something: making a movie about the Covid-19 pandemic during the Covid-19 pandemic feels like too much too fast. That said: art can be therapeutic, and one can hardly deny another’s need to confront the current state of affairs head-on as a means of survival. Together, written by Dennis Kelly and directed by Stephen Daldry, is raw and unpolished and a lot to digest. For some it may serve as a respite, a reflection of today that feels communal and embracing. For others it will be triggering and unwelcome.
At a scant 90 minutes, it follows a couple who openly hate each other. There is She (Sharon Horgan), He (James McAvoy), and their poor son Artie (Samuel Logan).

"What I'm trying to say... I sort of love you." Bleecker Street has released an official trailer for a film titled Together, a new comedy from British filmmaker Stephen Daldry. Yet another new pandemic lockdown film, this one addressing a relationship. It is the story of a family, like so many, who found a way to survive - together. This hilarious and heartbreaking story intimately shows two partners forced to re-evaluate themselves and their relationship through the reality of lockdown. Starring James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan, with Samuel Logan. Also via the PR notes: "Daldry brings to life the story of a family going through what we all went through over the last year, an experience that should resonate with moviegoers still shaking off the linger effects of Covid-era quarantine." I still don't know if anyone wants to watch a film like this (especially with the potential of more lockdowns...
