Writer-director-star Katie Holmes perfectly captures those early pandemic days in the occasionally heartbreaking and mostly sweet and lovely romantic drama Alone Together. Read full review

Jul 19, 2022

While we may soon tire of movies using the pandemic as a narrative catalyst (if we haven’t already), Katie Holmes’ Alone Together feels vitally of-the-moment at a time when so many films are ignoring the poignancy of that moment altogether. Read full review

Its simplicity and lack of cinematic fancy strikes a tone of surprising relief. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Jul 19, 2022

Tenderly-conceived, tastefully-directed, handsomely-mounted and prestigiously-cast, its a drama that runs up against the wall of over-familiarity and the ceiling of expectations. Even without being the umpteenth version of this sort of film to come out, it’s pretty bland going. Read full review

Luke and the other actors do their best, especially Zosia Mamet as June’s friend and Melissa Leo as Charlie’s mother, but the dialogue never creates vivid, specific, consistent characters. Read full review

With so many people and life going back to some semblance of normalcy, Alone Together may feel slightly too late, but Holmes' film offers something worth engaging with. Read full review

It’s tempting to take it easy on Alone Together, because harsh criticism feels somewhat cruel – it’s just such a gosh-darned nice movie, about two nice people who meet up and are nice to each other. But this is one tepid piece of work, a story of bland people doing and saying bland things as the world burns around them. Read full review

Another film that attempts to capture the COVID experience at the beginning of the lockdowns ends up being a story that desperately seeks direction and meaning after the first act has passed.

The structure is clear and consequently predictable, especially given how little it can afford to vary and how little it intends to do so.
Katie Holmes knows her game as an actress, but as a director and writer she has a long way to go. The idea of Alone Together implies how much you will invest in the characters and their circumstances, but when these are so inconsistent, uncertain and unrealistic, the response really won't be positive and in my case all I can really say is that it was a dull misfire.… Expand
