“This move will be good for both of us…”
Together released in theaters on July 31st 2025. The horror film stars Alison Brie, Dave Franco, and Damon Herriman. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-two minutes.
Real life couple, Dave Franco and Alison Brie, star as Tim and Mille, who move out to the countryside, leaving their friends and loved ones behind while dealing with new strains on their relationship. After going on a hike, they encounter a mysterious force that threatens to bind them together (literally) forever.
Here is the trailer:
Together is bizarre, extreme, and filled with cohesive charm, but does it do enough to be worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Alison Brie & Dave Franco are electric together!
This really should come as no surprise since they are married in real life, but I think it was genius to cast them in a film like this, which relied so heavily on chemistry and connection. I’m not normally into body horror films, but these two sold me on it.
They were relatable and genuinely funny despite the extreme concept, which gave this film a surprising balance of dark rom-com charm and gross out gore. I fell in love with these two on screen and thought they were both fantastic.
They were so committed to this, which worked in the film’s favor. Wow!
Stomach-turning moments!
In a lot of ways, I would say this film was The Substance-lite, which I actually kind of preferred. I don’t like feeling like I’m about to vomit while watching a movie. Don’t get me wrong…there were lots of insane moments if you’re a fan of body horror, but I also appreciated the lore behind it all, which gave it some layered mystery.
The Cons:
The second half is stronger than the first…
I actually really enjoyed this movie and don’t have many cons at all. If I have to nitpick, I would say that this film could have been just a touch shorter. The beginning had some setup that could have been cut out, but I wouldn’t say it got in the way of the pacing that much.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!!!
Dave Franco and Alison Brie are a twisted, freaky match made in horror heaven and I’m here for it!
I went into this one not expecting much and it surprised me in all the right ways.
I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Together in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!
