Together Together

Together Together is a comedy-drama about Anna, a young woman who becomes a surrogate mother for Matt, a single man in his forties who wants a child. The two are strangers when the arrangement begins, and the working relationship gradually develops into something more complicated as they negotiate the boundaries between them and their different expectations of love and family.

The film was directed by Nikole Beckwith, who also wrote the screenplay. It is her second feature, following Stockholm, Pennsylvania in 2015. Ed Helms plays Matt and Patti Harrison plays Anna. The supporting cast includes Anna Konkle, Evan Jonigkeit, Tig Notaro and Nora Dunn. The production involved Tango Entertainment, Stay Gold Features, Haven Entertainment and Wild Idea, and the film runs 90 minutes.

Together Together was released in April 2021 and took about 1 million dollars worldwide, a modest return for a small independent production. On IMDb it holds a rating of 6.4 from roughly 10,000 votes, and on TMDB it also sits at 6.4, from a much smaller base of 183 votes. A critics' rating of 7.1 from 155 reviews places it somewhat higher with reviewers than with general audiences, suggesting the film was received more warmly by professional critics than by the wider public.
