Review of Alone Together (2022) by Jluis_001 — 01 Aug 2022

Another film that attempts to capture the COVID experience at the beginning of the lockdowns ends up being a story that desperately seeks direction and meaning after the first act has passed. The structure is clear and consequently predictable, especially given how little it can afford to vary and how little it intends to do so.

Katie Holmes knows her game as an actress, but as a director and writer she has a long way to go. The idea of Alone Together implies how much you will invest in the characters and their circumstances, but when these are so inconsistent, uncertain and unrealistic, the response really won't be positive and in my case all I can really say is that it was a dull misfire.
