Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: A big-hearted, generous movie that never patronizes the audience. Read more

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: In its own subversive way, Together can even be seen as a 'feel good' film - the lasting impression and final images are of unity, acceptance and the importance of community. Read more

Loren King, Chicago Tribune: Transcends simple nostalgia to deliver a vivid, fully human portrait that is Robert Altman-esque in its depiction. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Moodysson has shown himself to be a master of character development and simple (but not simplistic) storytelling. Read more

Dave Kehr, New York Times: A funny, graceful and immensely good-natured work. Read more

Jan Stuart, Newsday: A gloriously disarming comedy. Read more

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Absolutely free of formula and canned sentiment, but filled with a generosity of spirit that leaves audiences feeling blessed and hopeful. Read more

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: The kind of picture that makes you feel that there are many good reasons to actually like mankind. Read more

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: A comedy of crusty exterior and soft heart. Read more

Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine: A sad, funny, always good-natured film. Read more
