“Together” looks like it wants to be raw and emotional, a couple locked in a cycle of love, anger and fear. The poster even sells it as horror but the real horror here is how dull the film feels. Instead of pulling you into their world, the movie spends too much time on long arguments that go nowhere.
The script tries to capture the messy reality of a relationship under pressure, but it mostly comes off like a therapy session we weren’t invited to. The dialogue circles the same themes over and over until the tension dies out. You’re left watching two good actors trapped in a film that doesn’t know when to cut or move forward.
Dave Franco and Alison Brie throw themselves into the roles, and there are moments where their chemistry sparks but those moments fade quickly, buried under heavy writing and a slow pace. Instead of feeling intimate, the film just drags.
In the end, Together is more exhausting than affecting. What should have been a sharp, emotional chamber piece ends up flat and repetitive. It wants to be intense and unsettling, but for most of its runtime, it’s simply boring.
