MOVIE

Title: Together, 2025

Director: Michael Shanks

Starring: Alison Brie, Dave Franco

We checked out Together to see what Alison Brie is up to now that she had graduated from college and retired from professional wrestling. Turns out, she’s making a fun movie where the body horror takes togetherness to a whole new level. Millie (Brie) has convinced her musician boyfriend (played by Brie’s husband, Franco) of many years to accompany her to the sticks where she can take up a teaching position. There, they stumble upon a secret that really tests the strength of their fraying bond to each other. It’s not the tightest plotted, and the sacrifice of art for a sensible career hits an uncomfortable note, but there are some striking moments – an eyeball effect is worth seeing, and a scene with a saw puts the teeth on edge. I’m glad I didn’t read much about it before going in, because ultimately, there’s enough going on to make it not entirely predictable and a bit of a conversation starter.
