The real coup here, though, is the two actors that have been cast as She and Him... Sharon Horgan and James McAvoy make the most of the opportunity to showcase both their basic acting chops and their undeniable screen presence and serious chemistry.

Together is a monotonous affair with little to add to either the pandemic or relationship genre.

That it all works is down Dennis Kelly’s smart script, which throws in some surprising and unexpected twists, Stephen Daldry’s taut direction and the braveness of McAvoy and Horgan to just lay their emotions bare.

Perhaps reliving a public health emergency that is so fresh through an acerbic relationship, even if it is tinged with hope, is only a curiosity.

When Together confronts the helpless living nightmare of a pandemic's ongoing irresolution, it taps into a scary rawness.

[James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan] are both so expert, so charismatic, so tuned into each other, that you are drawn to them the way you are to an especially gruesome car wreck.

One of the best things about this charming, if slight, film is getting to enjoy McAvoy being McAvoy.

Together, at its best, is the rare movie that doesn't just spark empathy but makes the viewer feel empathized with.

nor for the way it captures a bleak moment in history, but for Razor-sharp observations about what it means to be human, and thereby imperfect, but still more than worthy of not just love, but, more, respect

Daldry achieves latitude by balancing invective with humor in confrontations that are always honest and leveling. The vitriol recalls Albert Finney and Rachel Roberts as domestic warriors in E. A. Whitehead's Alpha Beta.

Stephen Daldry's tale gives us a high-energy recap of our shared pandemic experience, spiked with incisive insights, through the evolving relationship of a sharp-tongued couple, an experience greatly enhanced by shining performances.

"Together" should feel stagey: two dominant characters, a single shared space, near-constant dialogue. It doesn't, thanks in part to how Daldry and Martin keep the camera in frequent motion.

His evolution from Leaver to "grocery store workers are heroes" is as easy to track as it is hard to believe, though McAvoy's trembling conviction allows you to envision the promised lands of empathy, even if his character takes a few too many shortcuts.

...apart from the acting fireworks it often seems to exist solely to ignite, you may well find it exactly as punishing as 90 minutes spent in the company of any other couple who can't stand each other.
