Alison Brie and Dave Franco star in Together, a horror movie that delves into codependency in relationships. In the film, Millie (Brie) wants to take her decade-long relationship with Tim (Franco) to the next level – marriage – but he’s emotionally paralyzed due to his past baggage.
As they navigate their strained relationship and a mysterious cave on a hike, their connection deepens into an unsettling test of intimacy. The movie, which was written by the real-life couple, explores anxieties in modern relationships, including fears of monogamy and losing one’s identity.
The duo behind the film drew from their own experiences, with Franco admitting that playing Tim allowed him to see his relationship with Brie through new eyes. “We’ve talked to single people who say this is a strong argument for being single,” Franco said. Meanwhile, couples have credited the movie for helping them make up after a fight.
Brie and Franco’s foundation in their real-life marriage was key to taking on this project. “If we didn’t feel like we had a healthy relationship, we would never have signed up to play these characters.” The film may spark debate, but ultimately, it’s an honest portrayal of the complexities of long-term love.
