Within minutes, we know not only where we are but whom we are dealing with; as a director, Moodysson is the perfect host, calmly introducing us, without the trace of a sneer, to a broad selection of trolls and eccentrics.

Moodysson excels at this delicate staging of inappropriateness; his true theme begins to cohere out of the sullen stares of children forced to tap undeveloped reserves of patience as the adults test the limits of liberation.

This funny, bighearted movie avoids all the pitfalls that movies about the counterculture so easily fall into, neither demonizing its free-loving, leftist characters nor holding them up as untarnished free spirits.

. Intensely humane and energetically humorous, Together is a film for film lovers and for anyone interested in human nature.

The film's supposed status as a feel-good flick originates from its ability to remind us that we're never alone in our failings.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 13, 2002

From the bare bones of the plot, it would be easy to mistake "Together" for a sexy romp. Moodysson has more on his mind than that, however.

There's nary a dull moment in this comedy. The dramatic resonance that emerges is especially lovely for having arrived so pleasantly.

Moodysson is an observant filmmaker, and best of all, sees the many sides of human personality that make people by turns maddening, exciting and sympathetic.

| Original Score: B | Feb 4, 2002

The joys -- and pitfalls -- of communal living in the 1970s are rendered with a buoyant immediacy and an ironic accuracy.

| Dec 28, 2001

It's all very cozy and laid back, set to a pleasantly dorky soundtrack of '70s Swedish pop.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 21, 2001

I'm glad I saw it warts and all.

| Original Score: C+ | Dec 12, 2001

A nicely balanced story that doesn't take sides.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 29, 2001

A deceptively simple character piece filled with moments of surprising humor and heart-breaking sadness.

Full Review | Nov 9, 2001

Through Moodysson's deft writing and simple, unadorned direction, the actors are allowed to turn their characters into an interesting group of real people who engage us fully in their small adventure.

A comedy of crusty exterior and soft heart.
