Together Together

I feel like this movie is getting a lot of unwanted hate with regards to its execution and ending and I feel the criticism is somewhat harsh.

Anchored by two commanding performances, together together is about two lonely individuals finding solace in each others company when Anna played by Patti Harrison acts as a surrogate for Ed helm's Matt.

Over the course of 90 mins we see them developing a sweet platonic bond which is equal parts honest and awkward.

With some powerful takes on relationships, parenting and friendships this movie reminds us of the unexpected turns life's journey can take and the comfort one can find in the most unexpected of places.

It's hard to put emotion into words sometimes, and this movie made it even harder for me. Just brilliant all throughout. It's fascinating how stories can make us feel like we're going through scenarios that we may have never been or might never go through personally. I hard tears by the end.

Amazing directing, dialogue and especially terrific acting. Patti Harrison has my heart now.

Nikole Beckwith created a wonderful and charming film. Together Together is filled with so much emotion, laughter, and awkwardness. Beckwith's script is great. It's hilarious and never afraid to show the awkwardness in her characters and the situation they are in. You can imagine how awkward this situation would be.

Patti Harrison gives a star making performance. She's funny, heartbreaking, and subtle. She hits every note in the film. Was also really surprised by Ed Helms in the film. He too is great. While he is still somewhat doing his Andy from The Office, he shows an emotional range I didn't know he had. It's a career best performance for Helms.

I really loved this film. It just made me feel great. I enjoyed watching it from start to finish. Nikole Beckwith is brilliant and I can't wait to see what she does next.

It's not necessarily a romcom to begin with. It's clear Anna and Matt have a connection but it doesn't transpire into something romantic, though the bond is there. Two awkward, lonely people who share an unfamiliar connection as a surrogate mother and a single father. The actors made the best out of it, I feel. Many great moments that give you hints of a good movie; each moment feels like it's leading to "that scene" that's going to make you fall in love with the movie but the scene never comes.

Ends with a cliff hanger but not the type you'd bang your head on about "What's next? How could they end it there?". Still a good watch, slightly above average, just that it's forgettable.

1) This is a comedy but not a belly laugh out loud film.

2) Per usual, Ed Helms does not disappoint.

3) Sometimes we get movies that are sweet and refreshing with endings that leave you wanting more. This is one of those. It's OK to let viewers decide for themselves, in their own hearts and minds, what the ending is.

4) Happy Birthday, Lamp! 🎈
