Critics Consensus

Elevated by Auli'i Cravalho's charming performance, All Together Now is an uplifting drama that stays largely on the right side of the line between sweet and cloying.

Karen Han

Polygon

Apart from a too-neat finale, director Brett Haley (Hearts Beat Loud) comes close to nailing a story that's rarely told (let alone told well) in such feel-good fare.

Katie Walsh

Los Angeles Times

"All Together Now" crescendos so subtly and so beautifully it's overwhelming, infused with the love and power of collective care. Basking in the sheer goodness of a group coming together to lift up the most vulnerable among them is a balm to the soul.

Benjamin Lee

Guardian

Haley, scripting with Quick himself, is so eager to drown his film in sugar that the grimness quickly becomes soapy instead and any emotional response we might have fizzles with similar speed.

Rated: 2/5

Joe Lipsett

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

Cravalho shines (as always) but the colour blind/diverse casting of her friends means nothing when they're shallow, 1-dimensional characters. The film's emotionally manipulative narrative disguises an uncomfortable message about the "deserving poor"

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

All Together Now has a unique premise put a great twist on a coming-of-age story that I wasn’t expecting.

Rated: 8/10

The Canberra Times (Australia)

Silver Linings Playbook was good at dissecting relationships, but All Together Now seems to have been dashed off and comes to our screens underwritten.

Rated: 3/5

I thought this movie was so awesome. The only letdown was at the end when I thought I was going to hear her sing again. She has such a beautiful voice. I was anticipating an ending like in the movie Flashdance, where she comes out of the school “pumping her fists”.

(Spoiler alert). Yes, life is hard. A lot of people really struggle with all the things mentioned in this movie : poverty, sickness, death, cumulating jobs, and the like. BUT, I can't stand so many things in this movie that ruin everything : 1) The acting is really bad. Cravalho has about one facial expression, and the rest of the cast is not really much better. 2) Too much melodrama : she's poor, homeless, her father died, her mom is an alcoholic who dates a violent guy, she dies, her dog has cancer... what else ? I mean, at this point, give her tubercolusis on top of it all... 3) The relationships are unrealistic : the one with the mother is ok and understandable, but seriously : people help you and you tell them to go to hell and they just magically forget, and no one talks about it ? Not even a little "I'm sorry" ? I stopped 25 min before the end. The cancer dog and "I hate people who wanna help me" attitude just did it for me. I'm sure the end is all gooey, but I don't care. It's just impossible to relate to anyone in this film, and the story is really too much.

I was shocked by how good an actress Cravalho is. The story is solid. The cast is good. I enjoyed the movie a lot.

This movie is full of hope, desire, and a cast that works. The buildup is quite a cliche I will admit, but the ending makes up for the drastic turn of events that unfold. I love it.

It manages to juggle a lot for its runtime, but it's bittersweet atmosphere and it's character chemistry make it worthwhile.
