Untogether

Untogether's ensemble cast is peppered with familiar names (a testimony to the high regard in which the writer/director is held), although the best performance is given by Jemima Kirke, who nails the simmering resentment of a past-her-prime elite author while nursing her inner pain and searching for the revelation that will turn everything around. (It comes by way of a too-obvious visual metaphor.) Lola Kirke is less emotive and affecting as Tara; the character is bland and the performance doesn't inject much energy. As Andrea's love interest, Jamie Dornan may be trying to distance himself from Fifty Shades of Grey but I have to admit he was more arresting as that series' steel-eyed stalker. Meanwhile, Ben Mendelsohn expresses the soulful weariness of someone who can't quite let go of the past. In a secondary role, Billy Crystal gives his best performance in a long time as the rabbi whose activist past captures Tara's attention. Jennifer Grey and Alice Eve are on hand for name recognition; they don't have real roles.

Ok pretty much sums it up. slow in many parts. ok acting. the story just didnt intrigue me

As a huge Jamie Dornan fan I have to say how disappointed I am in this movie .. So boring, slow, badly scripted and poorly played! if you want like just waste your time, watch it. otherwise, i don't recommend it

Written by, directed by, but not starring.... emma forrest. Looks like her first directing gig. The story centers on two sisters, andrea and tara, played by lola and jemima kirke. And the web of men who come in and out of their lives. All the characters have their own baggage. Pent up anger, and it comes out now and then at who-ever is nearby. Lots of talking about feelings, passes made but not completed. To cheat or not to cheat. The trivia section implies that some of this may have been taken from forrest's personal life. Her husband at the time, mendelsohn, plays martin. Co-stars billy crystal, jamie dornan. They play kiss them for me by siouxsie & the banshees for about 3 seconds near the beginning... clearly for effect. Great tune! Thankfully, they play more of it later on. That, shiny happy people, and primal's come together were all released in 1991. It's mostly good... script kind of goes all over. How they treat their pets is symbolic of how they treat other people in their lives. A lot of time spent on that. Shots of the hollywood sign. Some confusion when nick goes to a twelve step program. He claims to be a writer slash doctor, but we don't hear him say he's an alcoholic. Or a user. Or what kind of meeting it is.

Just because Jamie Dornan hailed in the Fifty Shades franchise, doesn't mean he should be associated with that character for life. If you want to enjoy the movie, please try and disassociate him with Fifty Shades. It's a different side to him and it shows his talent because he completely switched roles✨
