Selome Hailu

Austin Chronicle

The college archetypes get a bit on-the-nose, and some lingering underwater scenes feel jammed in to match other coming-of-agers. But ultimately, the imperfections just feel cute.

Rated: 3.5/5

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

A freeform comedy about a group of interconnected people in their early 20s, this movie coasts on its energetic pace and performances rather than narrative momentum.

Rated: 3/5

Tara McNamara

Common Sense Media

The promise of an all-hands-on-deck party carries the expectation of hours of wild fun, but, just like in real life, is likely to end in disappointment.

Rated: 2/5

...The Get Together, [is] a movie about a wild party with a streak of genuine melancholy and thoughtfulness at its center.

This empathetic if slender take on the post-college doldrums doesn't outstay its welcome.

Has the advantage of being short, keeping the picture on its feet, but Bakke shows some strain trying to turn a short film experience into a feature-length psychological study.

Memories of house parties and overdue late nights with old friends seem distant with covid so close in our review mirror, and The Get Together reminds us of all the richness we've missed. With first-rate cinematography and music, the film captures the feeling of dissonance after college while inviting us into our own stories of growing up, letting go, and going back to what really matters.

A fast-paced, fun little indie film about three intersecting story lines during a house party. I laughed a handful of times.
