Critics Consensus

Solid acting from its leads aside, Untogether comes apart with an anemic, unfocused story and awkward pacing.

Claudia Puig

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Follows several screwed up, trendy, aging hipster Angelenos who you really don't care about... It's awkwardly paced [and] the stories are wan.

Untogether is a very poorly made film with no real conclusion, and does nothing to dispel the notion that sometimes wealthy people make movies just because they can, not because they should.

If only the film itself were willing to be a little more untogether, to lose control occasionally and show us something new and unpredictable.

It is a perfectly serviceable movie; a bunch of good-looking people adrift and looking to connect [...] I guess I just wish the movie had a bit more heart.

Rated: B

Even if Untogether doesn't always come together, it still possesses hints of greatness. It's a solid directing debut from Emma Forrest and I'm curious to see what potential projects she does going forward.

Shadows on the Wall

For a comedy, this is all rather grim, but it's also profound.

Rated: 3.5/5

A completely harmless movie. I was prepared for the absolute worst, based on some of these ratings, but its actually okay. Jemima Kirke and Jamie Dornan have great chemistry, and since its their story that carries most of the movie, I can't complain. There is also an interesting theme about the importance of the stories we tell - to ourselves and eachother, and I feel like that was delivered quite well.

I don't know what to call it, but Andrea (Jemima Kirke) plays the evolved manic pixie dream girl. What happens when the MPDG grows up, decides to get clean and becomes more than one dimensional while still getting it wrong over and over- because that's being human? Bonus points for great soundtrack, subtle, hot-sex & Billy Crystal.

What a disaster. Watching Kirke acting her way out of a paper bag. Credit to the bag for holding its own.

Technically done well with beautiful actors but I personally didn't get what was the point being made. It was like a collage that you put together to try to get a vague meaning. Perhaps I am old fashioned but I do best with a movie that has a story line I can find, and I didn't easily enough find a story from this movie. I guess I need things to be more obvious and redundant. It could be this movie is innovative and ahead of my time. There were a lot of daring new situations and dialogue between the characters that were the opposite of cliched that were portrayed. I was put off though by the full frontal nudity of one the female protagonists. I guess this is a new trend in movies, and perhaps a good thing to be actual. A moment of the movie that gave me a good laugh was Martin (Ben Mendelsohn's) awkward politeness on the subject of the holocaust. The nonjudgmental way he delivered those lines, with open naivete and good natured intentions was astounding.

A bit angsty, but okay. Moderately entertaining.

Couldn't even get through it. Characters were all extremely unlikable and not enough character building to help understand how they became these f-ed up broken people... I was so just so annoyed by everyone and their bad interactions with each other, I couldn't care what happened to them. Billy Crystal and Jennifer Grey were nice surprises I suppose. Sad they were wasted in this stupid movie.
