Allein mit dir

... it's an achievement getting through this romantic-drama without fast-forwarding many sections... there are just sooo many parts that either take forever getting anywhere, or large sections that are just completely predictable as to be intensely boring

... there's not anything tremendously off with any of the acting or the film's production values... it's just when there is entire control in the hands of just one individual, it can prove an issue as evidenced here... outside of having the pandemic as part of the storyline, and not an interesting part, this movie just seems empty.... smiling alot of the Katie Homes smile just isn't enough to make this worth the time.

It's not bad, the story is nice, and kind and warm in parts, but... there are so many cringe-worth moments in the movie that I had to watch in two parts (and I almost gave up).

It is apparent (to me, at least) that the script needed more iterations and finessing (to remove the cringe moments for starters).

Also, none of the "couples" had much chemistry, I think the movie would be much better off with slightly older (mature) male counterparts and a more relaxed and relatable relationship between them.

Maybe in a few more years, with proper distancing from the pandemic, a refined script and more time to proper audition and cast the 2 main male characters the movie could have been much better.

A sweet film that is romantic and sad in all the right doses. Nothing seemed out of place and the soft piano score was perfect for the ambiance. Holmes gives a more vulnerable performance than normal, but still seems a bit too gaurded. Sturgess is wonderful as always. I wanted to know more about each of their characters just as much as they seemed to want to get to know each other.

Added note: especially for those who lived in NYC, had family passed from COVID, or overall struggled through the pandemic you may want to refrain from watching. Definietly brought up some memories and feelings from lockdown.

Deserves more than its current IMDb rating.

It's a classic, chick flick, lazy Sunday afternoon watch & I enjoyed it.

The male lead is charming, the female lead is wounded/manipulated & the villain of the piece (not that there is a real villain) is self-centred & unaware.

Easy to follow, well written & acted. It's accessable stuff. Just what you want on a lazy day.

It's probably a 6, but, I gave it 7.

In simple little drama "Alone Together" (Katie Holmes' first film as writer (second as director)) she's a lowly NY journo whose dickish bf Derek Luke books them a rural AirBnB as the covid lock-down strikes... but he then doesn't turn up AND it's double-booked (sigh) with Jim Sturgess (always likeable) already there. Resigning to co-habit Holmes & Sturgess hit it off (duh) but as the world shuts up can she really shut it out and live a kinda fantasy? Calm & humourless it's pretty dry, but performances are sound (inc Melissa Leo as Sturgess' mum) and Holmes' direction fresh. We still wait on an excellent covid movie, but just maybe with this they're getting SLIGHTLY better.
