But as Matt’s unbridled enthusiasm for impending parenthood leads him to persistently insert himself into her life and invite her into his, the initially annoyed Anna finds herself reluctantly charmed.

	Media	Author	Review
		Jude Dry IndieWire	"[A] flat surrogacy comedy (...) 'Together Together' is too far up in the clouds of gimmicky plot to say anything meaningful."
		Tomris Laffly Variety	"Despite all the predictable flaws of 'Together Together' and an array of side characters that begs to be better developed, Beckwith puts forth something rare and full of feeling."
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Its interesting cast and relationship with the work of Woody Allen will draw nods of approval (...) 'Together Together' makes for comfortable viewing elevated by Harrison’s sparky presence"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[An] unsatisfying script that offers a wishy-washy portrait of platonic love with too few fresh observations (...) The squandering of assets here is considerable"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"Helms brings a familiar but welcome energy (...) [Harrison] has a disarming quality (...) She is vividly funny and melancholy, and we root for her from the start."
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"It’s bright and witty and packed with laughs, but those laughs stem from real empathy and understanding of its characters."
		Andrew Crump The Playlist	"The stakes hover surprisingly low in the plot stratosphere (...) The least it can be in exchange is light on its toes, warm, and unfailingly human in its sensitivity and good humor."
		Pramit Chatterjee Mashable	"[It is] a must-watch because of Patti Harrison and Ed Helms’s heart-warming performances. And also because it is a warm, kind, and soft movie"
		Jake Kring-Schreifels The Film Stage	"Beckwith seems undecided about her own perspective. It’s tricky to invest in two characters at once. She’s given them thoughtful, sensitive, honest moments, but doesn’t push deeper than necessary."
		Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"'Together Together' suffers a little from being too polite, as a comedy it lacks snarl, and as a drama it lacks, well, event. Nothing much really happens –but maybe that’s the point (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
