What happens

Together is a 2021 British comedy-drama television film written by Dennis Kelly and directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin. It stars James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan as a couple re-evaluating their relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Samuel Logan making an appearance as their son, Artie. It was shot in ten days in Kensal Rise, London. The film was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC Two on 17 June 2021. Upon release, it received generally positive reviews from critics, with some calling it a "claustrophobic", "brilliant", and "honest" film set during the pandemic. However, a mixed response was given on its use of monologues and fourth wall breaks. In her review, Lucy Mangan from The Guardian gave Together four stars out of five and wrote that it "captures perfectly the emotional dilapidations of a dying relationship". Together was theatrically released in the United States by Bleecker Street on 27 August 2021. The film won the British Academy Television Award for Best Single Drama. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
