Movie Reviews of Together
Movie Review: Golgi Apparatus
Summary: 3 Stars
Of the three Lukas Moodysson films I've seen, this one is my least favorite. That's not quite as bad as it sounds. I loved Lilya 4-Ever [Region 2] and Show Me Love. Together had me running hot and cold. It was quite a while into the movie before I began to care about many of these characters. The real core of this movie is daughter Eva. I found her character, storyline and acting to be what ultimately kept me watching it all the way to the end. She is brilliantly awkward. Not even awkward. Normal but not one of the bonehead popular girls.
It is the people in the Together collective themselves who I largely disliked. Not that I have to love people, or that they have to be people with whom I'd want to fraternize for me to like a movie, far from it, but for much of the movie almost all of them annoyed me. I quite enjoyed Eva's father and his new friend, though.
And yet... the movie is somehow tragic and quite lovely. In American cinematic terms, think of a Pleasantville, albeit one that takes alot longer to get going. As a person who is as far from being a "soccer fan" as one can be, I found myself quite moved by it at times here.
My 2nd viewing is what drove home my ambivalence. The sections of the movie I didn't care for the first time around seemed to be even more tedious the 2nd time, but yes I still enjoyed what I'd previously enjoyed. Summation: I'd never buy this movie. Seeing it twice during the rental was enough for me. That's what separates this movie from the aforementioned Moodysson films. I greatly enjoyed and was consistently moved (or haunted) by those 2. Were I unwrapping a Christmas or birthday gift and found one or both of those inside I'd be completely pleased and would end up seeing both of them many times. Together didn't have that sort of staying-power. I think it could have, but it didn't quite.
