“Together Together‘s ultimate achievement is thus not to flip gender roles, but to erase them altogether. The film is normalizing the idea that a woman like Anna could bring a baby to term without a maternal attachment (beyond her excitement that Matt is able to live his dream) and the idea that a man like Matt can drown out the skepticism and consciously look to build a family on his own. These are human beings acting on human impulses while realizing that the concept of “doing it together” doesn’t demand conditional strings.” — Film review by Jared Mobarak (Buffalo, NY)
