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 May 13, 2021 Full Review 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 May 20, 2021 Full Review 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 May 19, 2021 Full Review Marisa Carpico The Pop Break ...The Get Together, [is] a movie about a wild party with a streak of genuine melancholy and thoughtfulness at its center. May 14, 2021 Full Review Liam Lacey Original Cin This empathetic if slender take on the post-college doldrums doesn't outstay its welcome. May 12, 2021 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 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. Rated: B- May 12, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Excellent movie. Very well written, it surprised me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Quirky, relatable, and all around good time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it!! The characters were great and loved the intertwining stories. This is a must see for sure! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member all the huzzahs for this film that takes me back - creative, hilarious, inspiring... truly a must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A fast-paced, fun little indie film about three intersecting story lines during a house party. I laughed a handful of times. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
