Leave your thoughts about Charli XCX: Alone Together.
| Paste MagazineSydney UrbanekWhile the doc is ostensibly yet 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—watching in horror as your ambitious self-imposed deadline approaches, navigating how generous you should be with your audience, saying unkind things to yourself for no real reason, and so on. |
| The PlaylistRoxana HadadiAs much as Charli is the star of this documentary, her fans are, too, and Alone Together manifests as both a wild ride and a soothing balm—as long as you don’t think too hard about the labor ethics at the center of it. |
| ConsequenceRachel ReevesHighlighting the reciprocal nature that many musicians share with their fans in unprecedented fashion, the film’s raw and authentic approach is as engaging as Charli herself. |
| Austin ChronicleJenny NulfThe documentary’s sugar rush display of healthy fandom is a rarity, giving the film legs outside its pandemic novelty. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichThe directors do a brilliant job of making its ad-hoc, mixed-media aesthetic into more of a feature than a bug. Glitched together from dozens of Charli’s boom-tastic PC Music bangers and punctuated with computer-generated animation (impish avatars and the like), the film nails the semi-digital existence that we all have come to understand as its own kind of reality. |
| VarietyChris WillmanIn the end, Alone Together is a love story — about the love between Charli and her fans. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDan FienbergAt only 67 minutes, Bradley&Pablo's doc is aspiring much more to the former. Less brevity and more depth could possibly have yielded a superior movie, but Alone Together may be an example of a documentary better served by leaving fans wanting more than making casually curious viewers want less. |
| The GuardianPhil HoadCharli XCX’s drive and heart are infectious, even for non-Angels. |
| Little White LiesCassidy OlsenAlone Together invites us into this community and gives fans some insight into Charli’s psychology, although perhaps the most evocative work chronicling this period in the artist’s career is the album itself. |
| TheWrapSteve PondWhile you can view the film as a companion piece to “How I’m Feeling Now” that is mostly aimed at people who love that album, it also has moments where it transcends that to become is an intimate examination of community in a time of isolation. And in those moments, the film has an impact that reaches far beyond what it shows you about one artist’s music. |
