Together (2021)

An unhappy couple -- together only for their child & preparing for the first COVID lockdown -- launch us right into the action. They're speaking directly to us as though we're therapists who've asked them to "tell us everything." I almost turned it off after 15 minutes because it felt so contrived, but I stuck it out for McAvoy.

And, eventually, it pays off. Their fear, anger and unhappiness give way to the new paradigm. And they get through it together, somehow. Just like most of us did. It wound up feeling honest and accurate.
