Overall Call:
This was a nice surprise. Together is a delightful dramedy that smoothly tells several stories seamlessly. Most of the subplots use the backdrop of a hippy-like commune. The biggest surprise was the subplots of the children. The kid's stories could have been a separate touching movie by themselves. All the acting was very natural and not pushed or contrived. The actual shooting of the film was done in a realistic hand-held manner that made you feel like one of the guests in the already overcrowded home. The story was traditionally framed around many non-traditional themes and all came together in the end.
Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Nice use of humor in serious situations
+ Great realistic acting
