image from the film Together: alison brie and dave franco trapped in a hole, the opening casting light down on them

Tone is such a fickle thing. So hard to maintain, and if you find it too late, it’s nearly impossible to get back and adjust the rest to match, either in reshoots or the edit. Together is a case in point: beautifully acted, some truly gnarly effects work, an overarching theme about co-dependency…and yet. All of those don’t matter if the tone is off, and my biggest issue with Together is that by the time it really finds its footing we’ve spent an awkward first half of the film that lingers a bit too long, marring an otherwise outrageous and fun second half.
