Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
This is the rare movie that gets you to fall in love with characters you don't even like.
100
Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
Together is unabashedly about people who need people. The film's satiric skewering of '70s liberalism works because it feels emotionally authentic.
90
New York Magazine
Peter Rainer
Moodysson captures exactly the preening narcissism and gumption of these frazzled would-be revolutionaries trying to wriggle out of their bourgeois straitjackets.
90
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
A wonderfully complex examination of sexual and material politics that's full of bravely provocative, gently funny, and warmly human encounters.
90
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Terrifically funny and remarkably wise, a comedy that speaks volumes, without a polemical word, about the tension between rigid politics of any stripe and the imperatives of life and love.
90
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Aside from superb ensemble work from an 18-member cast, "Together's sense of human potential is its greatest pleasure.
90
The New York Times
Dave Kehr
One of the most pleasant foreign films of the year, a funny, graceful and immensely good-natured work.
90
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This hilarious and humane film nails its subject -- not just the unshaved armpits and the lack of underwear -- and marks Moodysson as a talent to watch.
90
Newsweek
David Ansen
Has an almost perfect-pitch grasp of those messy, idealistic, vibrant times, when everyone was trying to reinvent himself from the ground up.
90
Time
Richard Schickel
We are free to adore a sad, funny, always good-natured film that eccentrically, tolerantly explores that moment when revolutionary ardor commingled with bourgeois stolidity to form our present weirdly ambiguous culture.
90
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Together is the kind of picture that makes you feel that there are many good reasons to actually LIKE mankind.
88
Chicago Tribune
Loren King
Exquisitely captures the irony and hopefulness of the era.
88
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A mordantly funny, clear-eyed view of an extended family's mounting dysfunction in a changing society.
88
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Funny gem.
83
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
It's a brilliant little microcosm of the '60s experience that, in a most gentle way, shows us how the counterculture probably was doomed from its inception.
80
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Moodysson puts it across with a sincerity that's genuinely heartwarming, and he sets it all to a surprisingly good soundtrack culled from the Swedish rock (who knew?) of the era.
80
Slate
David Edelstein
A scruffy delight, a movie with the happiest sort of family values.
80
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Moodysson's cornball sentimentality about the many shapes of the human family is tempered by his honesty about personal frailty and the silliness of utopian living experiments.
80
New Times (L.A.)
Andy Klein
On one level, Together is a countercultural soap opera, though played more as bittersweet comedy than as drama.
80
LA Weekly
Ernest Hardy
Moodysson's movie, one part mash note and three parts scathing piss-taker, is hugely compassionate toward the well-meaning fools in his tale, but he doesn't suffer their nonsense gladly; his film is, in large part, about grown-ups needing to grow up.
78
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Together's portrait of its social moment is right-on.
75
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
A gentle, sprightly satire that pokes fun at these trendy communards but emphasizes their humanity and fallibility.
75
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
The best thing about Together, apart from the way some of its characters grow on you even as others put you off, is the way it snatches idealism back from the brink of life-smothering orthodoxy.
75
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It may be that Together only wants to remember a time. That it does with gentle, observant humor. If it has a message, it is that ideas imposed on human nature may be able to shape lives for a while, but in the long run, we drift back toward more conventional choices.
75
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
This is a rare breed of crowd-pleaser: a big-hearted, generous movie that never patronizes the audience.
75
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
An amiable look at a bygone time and a set of ideas about the world that once held far more power and magic than it does today.
75
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Free love, vegetarianism and lack of personal property are the rule.
70
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The actors, mainly newcomers, have an improvisational freshness well matched to the freewheeling camera work.
63
Baltimore Sun
Michael Sragow
A friendly movie, as scruffy and cozy as a woolen watch cap.
