RE: Together Together (film): Touching and emotional
The story is smart, funny, insightful, thoughtful, and fresh. It made me laugh and cry, and reflect on love and relationships in new ways. Incredibly well acted -- Patti Harrison delivers a consistently outstanding (star-like) performance that elicits smiles, guffaws, melancholy and compassion, and Ed Helms' grounded performance is new from him, he draws viewers in with a masterclass of 'less can be so much more'. The supporting cast is terrific. The director, who I know well, has succeeded in redefining what a Rom-Com can be, and in reminding us that the most meaningful and impactful relationships we have come in many forms, should never be taken for granted.
That's pretty wild that you personally know the director. I was talking to some people the other day and recommending this film face to face and a few of them had seen it and told me of their dislike of the ending. To me, the ending not being what you expect was kind of the point. I guess some people just enjoy the cookie cutter romcom formula!
