A horror movie that seems perfectly content to gross out with gusto while leaving something shrewder and adult, even more moving, far behind.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 31, 2025

This is the tale of two people coming together while growing apart. In other words, it’s the perfect date movie.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jul 31, 2025

Even steeled for a plot point we’re dreading — the couple making the terrible choice to do something more adult than hold hands — when the scene finally arrives, it’s ickier and more humiliating than we could have imagined.

Dave Franco and Allison Brie's lived-in chemistry has a grossly macabre fun time in Michael Shanks' codependency body horror.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 31, 2025

In the new film Together, writer and director Michael Shanks examines enmeshment in a much more literal way, to varying degrees of success.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 31, 2025

Shanks' feature debut is an excellent psychological-body horror about a young couple who move to the country and into a haunted house. Or maybe it’s the woods near the house that are haunted? Or perhaps just one of the couple? Watch and learn.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Jul 31, 2025

Curiously paced and at times a bit overt, Michael Shanks’ “Together” ultimately overcomes these faults to deliver an entertaining, albeit disturbing examination of co-dependency.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 31, 2025

They give two physically impressive performances with Shanks’ screenplay demanding they go through all sorts of contortions. Franco and Brie are really the glue that holds “Together” together.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 31, 2025

'Together' is the most romantic, queerest, and funniest body horror film in recent memory. Brie and Franco's real-life chemistry shines through. It’s a rom-com for sickos, and that’s the highest compliment I can give a film.

Full Review | Jul 30, 2025

Remains vivid enough to engage, finding pockets of ugliness to investigate, and the writing has a few things to share about the struggles of cohabitation and partner support.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jul 30, 2025

This 'romantic body horror' about a couple who (literally) can't bear to be apart either needed to be a lot scarier, more erotic or just plain less goofy. "The Exorcist" meets emotional labor.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 30, 2025

The more gruesome the story gets, the stronger it is, as the over-the-top ick kept my brain present.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 30, 2025

An uneven but inventive horror film about losing oneself to love.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 30, 2025

The profound depth of feeling generated by Brie and Franco in the midst of this genre film, one perhaps unattainable if they weren’t also married in real life, gives Together a real shot as the greatest romance of the year...

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jul 30, 2025

It is the most potent fusion of the pair’s private and public lives any curious fan could possibly hope for. Oh, and it is exceptionally, wildly disgusting.

Full Review | Jul 30, 2025

Together is a smart and sly film. It’s funny, not only because of the goofiness of the gooeyness, but because it’s immediately recognisable for a lot of people as an exaggerated mirror for the uncertainties they see in contemporary romantic relationships.

Full Review | Jul 30, 2025

A Cronenbergian rom-com with touches of The Thing, it's a can't-miss watch for horror fans.

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 30, 2025

For a film about bodies merging into one, Together proves disappointingly unable to get under its characters’ skin.

Full Review | Jul 30, 2025

Together isn't the most subtle or far-out body horror movie we've seen in recent years, but it makes up for that with tons of inventive scares and sheer originality.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 30, 2025

It’s an idea tailor-made to scare the crap out of any couple on date night, while also appropriately and effectively played for laughs given its stars, yet it also falls short of running with that potential for something truly unhinged
