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

The writing is strong and the two actors have a surfeit of both chemistry and charisma.

"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.

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.
