Togetherness

About This Movie

So, 'Togetherness' is this intriguing blend of drama and personal exploration. You've got Stas, a former MMA fighter, who returns home to a cold and distant relationship with his mother. The whole vibe is quite somber yet hopeful, really. The pacing is deliberate, which lets you soak in the emotional weight of their interactions. I found the fairy tale element interesting—it's not just a plot device; it reflects Stas's struggle to connect with his mother. The performances are quite raw, especially from the lead, who really captures that sense of longing and regret. It’s distinctive in how it approaches themes of isolation and reconciliation, and the practical effects used in the fairy tales add a nice touch without overshadowing the character work.
