There is power in creating something that reflects the tough times we are living in, and there is even more power in coming together and celebrating it. Charli XCX: Alone Together demonstrates both in compelling detail.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Whatever you make of Alone Together as a portrait, as a document of the early 2020s, it’s authentic enough. The main question is whether you find it depressing or empowering to watch a pop star slogging away wearily just like anybody else.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 4, 2022

Unlikely as it is that Alone Together will prove massively appealing to audiences outside of Charli XCX, her infectious personality and relatability, however, mean it’s incredibly easy to see why she has amassed as many adoring fans as she has.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 3, 2022

A celebration of voice when you feel like no one’s listening.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 1, 2022

The current relationship between performer and audience, as shown in this movie, is draining and damaging for everyone; and its depressing that no one seems to imagine a better way forward.

| Apr 27, 2022

It's a colourful, fast-paced film packed with surprisingly powerful moments.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 21, 2022

Having been largely shot by amateurs, this documentary looks rough, but as always, the magic is in the edit.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2022

Charli XCX’s drive and heart are infectious, even for non-Angels.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 13, 2022

While there is missed opportunity for greater dialogue surrounding the digital ages convergence of artist and audience Bell and Jones-Solers film is leaps ahead of its counterparts thanks to its depiction of chosen family through fandom.

I dont know if I have become immune to celebrities allowing us into their lives via social media or the like but what Charli XCX attempts here did not really hit the mark with me.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 10, 2022

It's probably time filmmakers found new ways of sharing their pandemic experiences, since Charli XCX: Alone Together feels frustratingly familiar.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 24, 2022

It is a refreshingly raw account of the creative process, one that depicts fraying mental health over a moment where everyone felt scared, stuck, and alone.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 1, 2022

It's a tight documentary confined to one period, and better for it.

| Jan 28, 2022

Ostensibly another pop star chronicle in an era of constant pop star chronicles, it emerges as a surprisingly universal study in being a creator of any kind in the digital era

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jan 28, 2022

The documentary's sugar rush display of healthy fandom is a rarity, giving the film legs outside its pandemic novelty.

| Jan 27, 2022

Little is revealed about the artist's creative process, the songs themselves or how they came to be.

| Original Score: C | Jan 27, 2022

A surprisingly honest documentary that explores the relationship between creators and fandom in the digital era.

| Original Score: 8 | Jun 24, 2021

Charli XCX proves that music will always have the ability to connect us, and that's something COVID-19 can never cancel.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 29, 2021

It's a shame pop musician Charli XCX wasn't quarantined with anyone with formal film training during the pandemic.

| Original Score: C | Apr 3, 2021

Some audiences may be distracted by the way Bell and Jones-Soler created the narrative for 'Alone Together.' This style of storytelling does describe the mental illness in a way that is more expressive for her and representative for the audience.

| Original Score: 4 of 5 | Mar 31, 2021
