Leave your thoughts about Alone Together.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperWriter-director-star Katie Holmes perfectly captures those early pandemic days in the occasionally heartbreaking and mostly sweet and lovely romantic drama Alone Together. |
| The A.V. ClubLuke Y. ThompsonWhile we may soon tire of movies using the pandemic as a narrative catalyst (if we haven’t already), Katie Holmes’ Alone Together feels vitally of-the-moment at a time when so many films are ignoring the poignancy of that moment altogether. |
| We Got This CoveredMartin CarrBilled as a lockdown love story, Alone Together is more than the sum of those parts. Offering writer director Katie Holmes a perfect platform to deliver, something intimately personal with political undertones. Substance and subtlety with this subject matter is rare, so give this some attention. |
| The New York TimesTeo BugbeeIts simplicity and lack of cinematic fancy strikes a tone of surprising relief. |
| TheWrapMartin TsaiAlone Together frequently hints at Holmes’ gifts as a storyteller, so it’s disappointing that she has a proclivity for romance-novel fodder. If she could have workshopped the script somewhere and honed in on authentic feelings outside conventional narratives, she has the potential to be taken more seriously as a filmmaker. |
| Paste MagazineAurora AmidonDespite its flaws, Alone Together turns out to be quite poignant, and gets around to conveying a truly optimistic message. It’s a film about following your heart and your dreams, and daring to be yourself no matter what people think of you. |
| Screen RantFerdosa AbdiWith so many people and life going back to some semblance of normalcy, Alone Together may feel slightly too late, but Holmes' film offers something worth engaging with. |
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowLuke and the other actors do their best, especially Zosia Mamet as June’s friend and Melissa Leo as Charlie’s mother, but the dialogue never creates vivid, specific, consistent characters. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreTenderly-conceived, tastefully-directed, handsomely-mounted and prestigiously-cast, its a drama that runs up against the wall of over-familiarity and the ceiling of expectations. Even without being the umpteenth version of this sort of film to come out, it’s pretty bland going. |
| IndieWireSamantha BergesonAlone Together has the momentum of a reclamation of sorts, but the plot tries to do too much, say too much, when it really should just be about love. Who cares if it’s formulaic or not? In the middle of this pandemic, maybe being something we can rely on is a good thing. |
