Is ‘Together’ the Most Disturbing Love Story Ever? Find Out!

In different words: Movies exploring marriage have come in various shapes, but the theme of codependency within relationships might offer a unique twist, with a chilling overtone resembling body horror. The real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco are set to challenge personal boundaries in the film Together. This horror movie created quite an impression at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and its official trailer has been launched by Neon, hinting that it may make viewers question their own personal limits and relationships.

Every time Neon releases a trailer for one of their horror films, they follow a well-established pattern by not revealing too much but offering enough clues to pique audience interest. In this film, Brie and Franco play Millie and Tim, a long-married couple who are at a turning point in their relationship. They decide to leave the city behind for a simpler life in the countryside. The strain on their relationship is already high, but when an otherworldly force enters the picture, it will force them into a terrifying union. With The Substance demonstrating that body horror can be a viable choice during award season, could Together follow suit?

‘Together’ Was a Big Hit at the Sundance Film Festival

Despite some speculation that this year’s Sundance Film Festival didn’t attract many films appealing to buyers, the film “Together” proved to be an exception. It quickly gained favor among attendees, eliciting laughter and screams from audiences throughout its screening. As a result, it was one of the titles that many believed would be highly sought after for acquisition. In the ensuing bidding war, Neon ultimately secured the film, marking writer-director Michael Shanks’ feature debut. Reports suggest that Neon acquired the film for over $17 million, making it one of the largest deals in Sundance Film Festival history.

Brie and Franco frequently collaborate on movie projects, with credits in films like The Little Hours, The Disaster Artist, Horse Girl, and The Rental. What makes Together particularly interesting is that the couple are actually married off-screen, which adds a unique dimension to its narrative. Despite the film’s exploration of co-dependency in relationships, it seems their real-life bond doesn’t reflect this issue – or if it does, they manage to keep it private. In fact, they seem to excel even more when acting together. As the movie promotion progresses, we may gain further insights into their dynamic.
