A twee little movie that is inoffensive and fairly unmemorable, sort of Hallmark-ish in its lasting ability.

But there is one very annoying plothole: why, when from the outside this appeared to be a very large house, was there, inside, only one bedroom and onebathroom?

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.

... 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.

I quite enjoyed this movie, it describes what went on and what people went through in the city. With all the awkward moments. I remmwber thinking it was going to be two weeks, then everything shutting down, remember not being able to hug my family, staying away from friends, my building not allowing friends to come for a meal, friends dying and hearing of people passing, and working all day and stepping outside for the 7pm cheer - in my opinion it's well done. And then getting better here and worse in other countries. And if it seems slow, that's because that's how those days were. Well done!

And the love story is a nice background, or the other way around.

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.

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.

There is no there there...I assume Katie Holmes can afford to hire professionals to direct and write--at least punch up the script.

No real plot--2 strangers find themselves together at the beginning of the pandemic thru an airbnb screw up--and like attracts like--two of the most boring people in the world fall for each other. Zero chemistry between the actors.

The usual rom com cliches: montages of mundane cute--her boyfriend shows up/new guy splits--again no chemistry, no anger, no drama-no questions--he sees she is not emotionally there anymore, leaves--she sees kids, realizes she wants some, she looks up the new guy again. They missed each other. The end. (Thank God)

I feel I have been a bit harsh on this film, as I did really enjoy watching I, and found it to be a bit better than reviews had me believe.

It wasn't a wholly original premise, although the Lockdown element added something fresh. I can understand this film isn't for those who like high action or a steady flow of punchy one liners.

However, despite the gentle pace, no huge peaks or troughs, and a pretty tame/simple concept, I was fully engaged throughout the film and thought it was very watchable. Yes, big things are ignored, or/& wrapped up/over before they're really ever a 'thing ', but I just liked being in the company of the characters and watching them navigate the pandemic with existing stresses and life situations.

I'd not deter anyone from watching this, and I appreciated most performances. But, its not something I'd rave about either. I think it's best being one of those films you stumped across and decide to give a try, and end up having a pleasant 90mins viewing experience.

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.

She wanted to tell this story and what a lovely story it is. This is not for mainstream society. It takes its time as it unravels into a sweet love story about being true to yourself. It's not an overdramatized, empty romance.

It starts at the beginning of the pandemic but not in a way that brings up any of the uproar that society felt. It's calming and quiet watching these two lonely people find connection with each other but particularly June finding herself and who she not only wants to be but who she wants to be with.

I can see most people feeling this movie to be slow and maybe boring but I found it to be sweet, relaxing and heartwarming.

Hope you enjoy it.

To those reviewers that only watch part of a movie and then rate it 1 star-that's just not fair. Look, this movie is not a major movie and it's made for a female audience. I watched the whole thing last night and found it to be a fair romance set against the backdrop of the beginning of Covid. My problem was with Katie Holmes's character talking about wanting marriage and children sometime in the future. She's 44 so unless she's adopting that's not going to happen anytime soon. I do realize you can get pregnant at that age. I just think she was trying to play someone about ten years younger and that didn't work for me. It wasn't a bad way to spend 90 minutes, it's a bit slow moving but what do you expect during a pandemic? Her grandfather who raised her died and she cried briefly and then it's barely mentioned again. That wasn't realistic. So those are my reasons for not rating it higher than 6, although I mostly enjoyed it.

Alone Together is absolute rubbish! I don't find Katie Holmes to be a particularly great actress. I think she is someone who got on a hit show so the offers come in. This movie was so slow and boring. Katie is in a bad relationship and heads to the house her and her boyfriend rented for a week to get out of the City during the start of the Pandemic. He bails and she shows up and someone else is there. They both stay. Who does that? The whole movie is painstakingly slow. The acting is very dull. The dialogue just isn't there. Katie wrote, stared, and directed this. My guess is she funded this because who in there right mind would fund this?

I wouldn't have expected Katie Holmes to be the filmmaker who attempts to create a love story set during the early days of the pandemic. She wrote and directed this 2022 romantic dramedy. However, I would expect her to be the star since her filmmaking style draws from the same sensitivity well as her six years on "Dawson's Creek". The sensitivity of her direction and performance works to some degree, but the leaden pacing and feckless characters hamper Holmes' intention to bring a level of intimacy to COVID. There is something frustrating about watching fortyish characters act like they're dealing with twentysomething angst. Holmes, Jim Sturgess, and Derek Luke try mightily to compensate for this lapse by infusing sincerity. Only an unrecognizable Melissa Leo registers as a character actually living through the uncertainty of the pandemic.

Just including the background voice of the NY Governor is enough to lower the rating in half. New Yorkers who are brainwashed might believe he really tried at helping people but everyone else knows the truth. He barely used a ship hospital, that would have been a good place for all the infected he put in the nursing homes.

An 8 pm curfew has to be one of the most ridiculous things people will look back on & wonder how stupid can people be.

Katie is 44 but is trying to play a 30 yr old with her Dawson Creek teenage personality, it just doesn't work.

The house has to have at least 3 bedrooms, it's like the upstairs doesn't exist with these 2, he gives up his bed for the couch makes no sense, give her another bedroom.

She's originally from Indiana but somehow thinks drinking beer is a Wisconsin only thing, has NY polluted her brain that bad?

Katie Holmes splits herself into the acting realm, writer and into the directors chair for this movie, Alone Together; also staring Jim Sturgess.

It was a fine effort but this film will be easily forgotten, if it hasn't been already.

The entire movie comes with a COVID-19 backdrop and works as somewhat of a time capsule movie. While I understand the use of the theme, it becomes redundant very quickly and that we don't need constant reminders about the dangers of COVID. The movie also contradicts itself from COVID practices in ways I won't spoil, that questions why the COVID theme had to be explored at all. It was probably unnecessary that Holmes had to make this such a central part of the film.

The acting is okay but sometimes a little too messy. I sensed some typecasting problems. Jim Sturgess is a good actor, but he doesn't fit the role of Charlie. Holmes overdramatized a lot of her sequences and further proves that she's not a very good actor, the lead could've been just about anyone else. Derek Luke is bland and Melissa Leo is probably the best of the bunch but that's not saying much.

I did like the writing. It's very predictable but it was mostly good enough to get by minus all the unusual amount of cuss words that were thrown in.

I'll give Holmes credit in some areas, there we're some nice moments. This movie is raw so if Holmes were to direct again then there's a lot of things that need improvements but a nice first step nonetheless.

I couldn't get over how End of February (start of movie) to Mid-April in NYC had no snow, cold. Looked like May/Jun - sunny green trees, even country looked like May. No attempt to show correct season.

So that BIG house only had 1 bedroom but 3 dormers. Character's took deaths of family members pretty easily. Took pieces of Covid (like grocery issues) but so many other things ignored.

Bad acting and funny faces by Katie. SLOW, not much happened.... Poor wrap-up of story and generally just went nowhere. Story could've been told in 15 minutes. Even for a free movie on Hulu, not worth your time.

I enjoyed this movie. I do think that there's a part of me that sees that this could be Joey Potter later in life, with her messy and complex situations. I don't think it's not much of a stretch in character.

With that said, I like the fact that Katie Holmes is branching out into writing and directing. I'm excited to see what's to come because I do think she has talent beyond just acting. Although, I did enjoy seeing her in this film, playing a character she wrote, you can see the ease of it.

I enjoyed the pace of the film and just all of the throwbacks to what it was like at the beginning of the pandemic.

Okay why I need to pick spoilers is beyond me. Youd have to be really dumb to not see the entire predictably of this one from a mile away.

Its trash, straight trash. I don't know who payed for this to even be made? I mean did Katie Holmes because no one wants to hire her? Its just not good, not good at all. I mean unless you're really bored and kinda just want some background noise then sure go for it. If you want some real predictably then knock yourself out. But if you are sick of this same story told a million ways just skip it so Hollywood stops making them and wasting our time and money for recycled trash.

There is nothing earth-shattering about this movie. The plot is simple, even somewhat predictable, which leaves the focus on the characters. Fortunately, they gave us a couple likeable characters. And the rest -- well, it was just people being human. I liked it. Maybe you have to be in a certain mood to enjoy such a stripped-down movie, but I was in that mood for this one.

If you like something like Hallmark movies but with a bit more cursing and realism then this is the type of movie you will enjoy.

So, Katie Holmes is the writer and the director, and she plays the main character. It is now clear, that Katie Holmes has zero talent for writing a script. She didn't even have a solid idea to start with!

It's boring and predictable, has no interesting story or plot, and the dialogue is absolutely clumsy and amateur-like. It basically belongs on the Hallmark Channel...

There was absolutely no good reason to make this, perhaps except Katie Holmes having the chance to write, direct and act, and sort of making it look like her career is still happening.

Crappy, talentless productions like this, shouldn't even exist.

No pun intended - I have to admit, the first connection ... well it does not seem that they are off to a good start. But all the best (love) stories start with a bit of friction ... to say the least. Of course sometimes the friction is not between the loving parties - but with people in their surroundings.

Add to that the pandemic - yes remember that? Well only if you watch it close to the release date of course. My niece has two kids - they were born during/after the whole thing went down - I highly doubt to say the least they will remember anything. Well I also hope that is true - because if not it would mean there was a comeback.

Now as always I do not want to go too much into the story, the title is telling in itself. And then you have the two leads - really well done. And they have backstories ... nothing that will set them further apart than they begin with ... well told and suspenseful.
