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.

A comedy of crusty exterior and soft heart.

Quite bright in its fashion and often singularly comic.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 2, 2001

A comedy of manners set in the hippie heyday of 1975.

The best thing about Together ... is the way it snatches idealism back from the brink of life-smothering orthodoxy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 8, 2001

Together's portrait of its social moment is right-on.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 1, 2001

Tinged with delicate nostalgia.

| Sep 28, 2001

The film is filled with sly, affectionate humor.

| Sep 28, 2001

In its own subversive way, Together can even be seen as a 'feel good' film - the lasting impression and final images are of unity, acceptance and the importance of community.

Absolutely free of formula and canned sentiment, but filled with a generosity of spirit that leaves audiences feeling blessed and hopeful.

This hilarious and humane film nails its subject.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 18, 2001

A sad, funny, always good-natured film.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 17, 2001

A gentle, sprightly satire that pokes fun at these trendy communards but emphasizes their humanity and fallibility.

| Sep 14, 2001

A wise, wry coming-of-age film, for both its adult and child characters.

| Sep 14, 2001

Lukas Moodysson shows ... wit, warmth and a stealthy eye for human need in this wonderful import.

Full Review | Sep 14, 2001

[Moodysson] sets up characters and situations more to get across a point of view than to move along a story.

Full Review | Sep 14, 2001

It may be that Together only wants to remember a time. That it does with gentle, observant humor.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 14, 2001

Transcends simple nostalgia to deliver a vivid, fully human portrait that is Robert Altman-esque in its depiction.
