I watched this three days ago and held off logging it because I wanted to sit with it for a while. Now, days later, I still find myself thinking about it – something I didn't expect when I first pressed play.
I went in knowing nothing about the film, just casually picking it from HBO Max's lineup, drawn in by the poster, thinking it might be something like Harmony Korine's Kids (1995).
At first, it felt like a quiet, observational…
I know Alone/Together gets mixed reactions. It’s an underrated work in Antoinette Jadaone’s filmography; definitely more subdued than her usual style but just as affecting. But there’s something about its quiet reflection on lost potential and second chances that stays with me.
This movie captures that delicate space between who we were and who we’ve become, that feeling of nostalgia and regret in a way that’s deeply personal. Christine’s arc is a slow unraveling of idealism, and Liza Soberano plays…
It’s so sweet, I melted! And Norton is too cute in this, I am smitten. It might as well be a love letter to Woody Allen. A bit of Nora Ephron in there too. Anyway, this just made me smile a lot of the time. 5 stars.
Well, it’s stunning. Definitely the kind of movie you don’t want to look away from. But as for the rest? It leaves much, much more to be desired.
