Let’s face it, movies about the pandemic shot during lockdown have been pretty bad, and sorta feel outdated, right? Well, there are still a select few worth keeping an eye out for, and one of those is Together. When the talents of James McAvoy, Military Wives actress Sharon Horgan, and director Stephen Daldry are involved we have to assume the best, right?
Penned by Dennis Kelly (Black Sea) and marking Daldry’s first film since Trash in 2014, Together follows a London couple who must endure being locked down together over the course of a year, and obviously, it puts their relationship to the test.
Daldry is a consummate actor’s filmmaker, having previously directed such acclaimed films as The Hours, The Reader, Extraordinarily Loud & Incredibly Close, and Billy Elliott, all noted for their performances. In other words, expect the best out of McAvoy and Horgan.
Together opens in theaters on August 27th.
Academy Award nominee Stephen Daldry’s new comedy, TOGETHER, starring James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan, is the story of a family, like so many, who found a way to survive – together. This hilarious and heartbreaking story intimately shows two partners forced to re-evaluate themselves and their relationship through the reality of lockdown.
