Love Stories

... really..?! ... forsaking Martin, Tara has-hots makes-moves on-married-David... don't know how many reviewers dropped-couple-several rating-points for that fantasy... overall well produced, and the actors do their thing with few if any missteps... outside of Martin's singing (his being a veteran-rocker)... really, was that irritation-length necessary

... running a hundred minutes in length, all involved starting and ending pretty much in the same place ... imagine all these folks at least had some fun in the making of this straight-to-DVD production... for all the rest of us, at least there's consolation in having fast-forwarding.

Untogether's ensemble cast is peppered with familiar names (a testimony to the high regard in which the writer/director is held), although the best performance is given by Jemima Kirke, who nails the simmering resentment of a past-her-prime elite author while nursing her inner pain and searching for the revelation that will turn everything around. (It comes by way of a too-obvious visual metaphor.) Lola Kirke is less emotive and affecting as Tara; the character is bland and the performance doesn't inject much energy. As Andrea's love interest, Jamie Dornan may be trying to distance himself from Fifty Shades of Grey but I have to admit he was more arresting as that series' steel-eyed stalker. Meanwhile, Ben Mendelsohn expresses the soulful weariness of someone who can't quite let go of the past. In a secondary role, Billy Crystal gives his best performance in a long time as the rabbi whose activist past captures Tara's attention. Jennifer Grey and Alice Eve are on hand for name recognition; they don't have real roles.

I was at a screening in Tribeca and barely made it through this incredibly boring movie. If you thought Jamie Dornan was a terrible actor after 50 shades wait till you see the homeless version of Christian Grey (That beard.....god!) in this movie having a "Friends with Benefits" relationship with the disgustingly sloppy Jemima Kirke. The two have as much chemistry as Bin Laden and George W did and there is nothing original about this story or its predictable conclusion. It's clear this director must have had a "Friends with Benefits" relationship with someone to have gotten this made. Billy Crystal was it's only saving grace and everytime he appeared it was like being given a glass of ice water in hell!

As a huge Jamie Dornan fan I have to say how disappointed I am in this movie .. So boring, slow, badly scripted and poorly played! if you want like just waste your time, watch it. otherwise, i don't recommend it

Just because Jamie Dornan hailed in the Fifty Shades franchise, doesn't mean he should be associated with that character for life. If you want to enjoy the movie, please try and disassociate him with Fifty Shades. It's a different side to him and it shows his talent because he completely switched roles✨
