I know art is subjective but anyone that doesn't love this movie is only a dope of a thing. It's shot beautifully, masterfully written/directed and the acting is top notch. I'm just surprised it didn't/hasn't blown up and got the recognition it deserves.
As an indie filmmaker, I wish I made this movie. In the day of braindead superhero garbage and safe PC trash, this is the kind of movie that makes me think film still has a shot.
Well done!

This is a review you might not want to read if you're rooting for the cosy indie-bidding-war narrative: Together is being sold as a grotesque, intimate body-horror about codependency and behind the scenes there's a full-blown accusation that the movie was stolen from another filmmaker. I'm furious about what this case exposes: not because the idea of two people waking up stuck together is novel (it isn't), but because the people who make and sell films have an ethical duty to the writers and small companies who bring those ideas to them. Right now that duty is on trial.
StudioFest the production company behind the 2023 film Better Half has filed a copyright-infringement complaint alleging that the makers of Together saw or were pitched material connected to Better Half in 2020 and then produced a near-identical movie later. The suit points to overlaps in premise, certain scene beats, and even some specific flourishes that the plaintiffs say were passed along to agents who represented the people now defending Together. Those are serious, concrete allegations; taken on their face they read like the kind of industry betrayal that happens when power and access meet a hungry marketplace.
These two should be ashamed of themselves as they giddily promote their stolen art.

A question I ask a lot these days, who funded this trash?!
Why say it's based on a true story only to kill one of the girls in the ring, who actually lived till she was 90 in reality. And it did absolutely nothing for the story.
Also, the Vince Jr line was about as cheap as the production design. Zero attention to detail, the modern hotel doors with keys cards in the 1940's? Come on guys.
But all that aside this is just a really poorly written script with and directed with zero attention to detail. Even the end credits are thrown together with some AI tool. How do you go through all that work to make a film only to have AI throw the end credits together for you?!
