Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
This is the rare movie that gets you to fall in love with characters you don't even like.
Read Full Review >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.
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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
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.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dave Kehr
One of the most pleasant foreign films of the year, a funny, graceful and immensely good-natured work.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
Together is the kind of picture that makes you feel that there are many good reasons to actually LIKE mankind.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Loren King
Exquisitely captures the irony and hopefulness of the era.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
A mordantly funny, clear-eyed view of an extended family's mounting dysfunction in a changing society.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Slate David Edelstein
A scruffy delight, a movie with the happiest sort of family values.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >New Times (L.A.) Andy Klein
On one level, Together is a countercultural soap opera, though played more as bittersweet comedy than as drama.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
Together's portrait of its social moment is right-on.
Read Full Review >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 >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 >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.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
This is a rare breed of crowd-pleaser: a big-hearted, generous movie that never patronizes the audience.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Free love, vegetarianism and lack of personal property are the rule.
Read Full Review >Village Voice J. Hoberman
The actors, mainly newcomers, have an improvisational freshness well matched to the freewheeling camera work.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow
A friendly movie, as scruffy and cozy as a woolen watch cap.

Very good, a must see!
Ed gave it a 9:
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.
Stallings A. gave it an 8:
This movie was truly a delight. Delightful, charming, and sweet...plus full frontal male nudity. Always a plus in my book.
