Together (2021)

This mockumentary about a bickering London couple in COVID lockdown has a few laughs but isn't really a comedy, despite what Hulu says, and Jack and I didn't much like it. We picked it because we do like Sharon Horgan and James McAvoy, and their acting is first rate, so we are still fans.

Co-directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin in a ten day shoot, its screenplay is by Dennis Kelly and the music is by Paul Englishby. The soundtrack isn't available online but here are some of his tracks.

Don't confuse this with the wonderful Together Together which I wrote about last year.

Horgan was profiled in Game Night. McAvoy was last blogged for The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them and Daldry for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Martin was second unit director on twelve episodes of The Crown (2016-17) and associate director on two other features. Kelly has written for some series, features, and TV movies and Englishby has scored dozens of TV episodes and TV movies and a few features, including Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics are on the verge of separating with a 71% average and its audiences have already moved out, averaging 57.

We watched it on May 13 with our Hulu subscription.
