Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

This is the rare movie that gets you to fall in love with characters you don't even like.

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.

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.

The New York Times Dave Kehr

One of the most pleasant foreign films of the year, a funny, graceful and immensely good-natured work.

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.

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.

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.

Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek

Together is the kind of picture that makes you feel that there are many good reasons to actually LIKE mankind.

Chicago Tribune Loren King

Exquisitely captures the irony and hopefulness of the era.

Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea

A mordantly funny, clear-eyed view of an extended family's mounting dysfunction in a changing society.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

Funny gem.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Read Full Review >
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.

Read Full Review >
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.

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.

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.

Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow

A friendly movie, as scruffy and cozy as a woolen watch cap.

Fantastic film. Both wonderfully funny and deeply moving at the same time. A stylish gem.

Irwin L. gave it a 7:
Contrived and dated plot.
