Alone Together is absolute rubbish! I don't find Katie Holmes to be a particularly great actress. I think she is someone who got on a hit show so the offers come in. This movie was so slow and boring. Katie is in a bad relationship and heads to the house her and her boyfriend rented for a week to get out of the City during the start of the Pandemic. He bails and she shows up and someone else is there. They both stay. Who does that? The whole movie is painstakingly slow. The acting is very dull. The dialogue just isn't there. Katie wrote, stared, and directed this. My guess is she funded this because who in there right mind would fund this?

There is no there there...I assume Katie Holmes can afford to hire professionals to direct and write--at least punch up the script. No real plot--2 strangers find themselves together at the beginning of the pandemic thru an airbnb screw up--and like attracts like--two of the most boring people in the world fall for each other. Zero chemistry between the actors. The usual rom com cliches: montages of mundane cute--her boyfriend shows up/new guy splits--again no chemistry, no anger, no drama-no questions--he sees she is not emotionally there anymore, leaves--she sees kids, realizes she wants some, she looks up the new guy again. They missed each other. The end. (Thank God)

A twee little movie that is inoffensive and fairly unmemorable, sort of Hallmark-ish in its lasting ability. But there is one very annoying plothole: why, when from the outside this appeared to be a very large house, was there, inside, only one bedroom and onebathroom?

Anyone who lived through the pandemic will find reminders of what things were like during its early days in Alone Together. But despite a title suggesting another gruesome COVID lockdown chronicle, this movie is mostly simply a story of two people getting to know each other through pandemic-occasioning happenstance. Nicely shot and very well acted, this is an all-around enjoyable movie with pleasing moments of low-key romance. According to the credits, the version of "Blue Moon" at the film's start is performed by the writer/director's daughter, Suri.

OK June goes to an air bnb but instead of meeting her boyfriend there she meets a complete stranger Charlie. First off the 'mistake' was handled badly and the acting was very B movie. So nothing whatsoever rang true from June, Charlie, the boyfriend, the mother the friend etc etc etc There was some gruesomely twee scenes, like the one where June is sitting on a table trying to look cute when Charlie brings her a McD's. It just serves to show that it's a good idea for a story, but scripted badly, translated to the screen badly and acted badly. Nothing against Katie Holmes personally but she is far too odd looking to be romantic anyway. Her eyes droop at the corners, her mouth actually looks disfigured, and she has zero expression skills. I felt like I was struggling to breathe, and that life was passing me by, and the world was having fun while I was sitting wasting my existence watching this slow paced rubbish. It's up to you whether you watch it or not but I wish I could recover the time I wasted on it.

I wouldn't have expected Katie Holmes to be the filmmaker who attempts to create a love story set during the early days of the pandemic. She wrote and directed this 2022 romantic dramedy. However, I would expect her to be the star since her filmmaking style draws from the same sensitivity well as her six years on "Dawson's Creek". The sensitivity of her direction and performance works to some degree, but the leaden pacing and feckless characters hamper Holmes' intention to bring a level of intimacy to COVID. There is something frustrating about watching fortyish characters act like they're dealing with twentysomething angst. Holmes, Jim Sturgess, and Derek Luke try mightily to compensate for this lapse by infusing sincerity. Only an unrecognizable Melissa Leo registers as a character actually living through the uncertainty of the pandemic.
