Going upstate for a short romantic getaway to escape the pandemic in New York City, food critic June's (Katie Holmes) plans go wrong from the start. Arriving at the AirBnb in advance of her boyfriend, John (Derek Luke), she is shocked to discover it has been double-booked by recently single Charlie (Jim Sturgess). When John decides to stay in the city to take care of his parents, June has to settle in for the long haul as she realizes that the initial two weeks of the pandemic might just drag on a little bit longer than expected. As spring begins to unfold around them, June and Charlie make the most of the sudden break in their routines and develop an unexpected intimacy as they bond over their goals, ambitions and, of course, relationships.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Director Katie Holmes takes an appealingly low-key approach to her story, but it isn't enough to offset Alone Together's bland characters and overall predictability.

Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 07/30/2022
3/4
Writer-director-star Katie Holmes perfectly captures those early pandemic days in the occasionally heartbreaking and mostly sweet and lovely romantic drama. Go to Full Review
Michael Nordine Variety 07/24/2022
The film’s low-key charms, such as they are, aren’t restrained by adherence to formula so much as its myopic worldview. Go to Full Review

2/4
The film does not trust its audience enough to draw our own conclusions about the people and their circumstances. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 01/04/2023
Alone Together is a trite and misguided dramedy about a would-be couple stuck quarantining in the same house during the COVID-19 pandemic. The only social distancing needed is for viewers to avoid this boring flop that fails to have any romantic sizzle. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider 11/29/2022
Predictable story beats occur, right in line with some of the tragic difficulties many of us faced while in lockdown, and it feels more contrived than authentic. Go to Full Review

Chelsea K 06/19/2024 Easy, enjoyable watch for a weeknight or rainy Sunday movie. Predictable? Maybe, but in a comforting way and very reminiscent of early pandemic times. Endearing and simple in the best way. See more Pamela H @Pamiejo 04/14/2024 Badly written, badly directed, one sentence plot, vanity project with 90% of the movie being close-ups of Katie Holmes making cute faces. I will say that Suri Cruise has a beautiful voice. Her version of Blue Moon is the one good thing about the movie but she's done in the first 2 minutes. See more Cheryl S 02/20/2024 I loved it so much. Felt very real and romantic. Katie Holmes and Jim Sturgess made these characters so authentic. And they had great chemistry. Loved it. See more A C @angelalovessweetmovies 02/05/2024 Such a cute and sweet film! Thank you for a nice date night movie 🙏 See more kay m @KMKRT 07/21/2023 I really liked this movie, despite the bad reviews. Very sweet, touching, relevant to the times. Great job Katie Holmes 👏 See more Kevin B 06/27/2023 It's a nice romance movie and a good illustration of the need for human contact. But a little too soon from Covid! And a poor example of what most people good do. Holmes characters are pretty out of touch and extremely privileged living in an alternate sheltered reality. Not a good example of what actually happened for the majority of Americans. See more Read all reviews
