Relationship advice often focuses on the idea of growing together to avoid that. But in the horror film TogetherGrowing apart is not an option for a couple.
Alison Brie plays Millie, a teacher who is ready to take the next step in her relationship: marriage. Her partner of more than a decade, Tim, played by Dave Franco, is an emerging musician who is too paralyzed by his emotional luggage to commit her.
When Millie takes on a new job in a small town, Tim reluctantly follows. The two hope that a change of setting could repair their tense relationship. But only until a hike becomes wrong – and a storm she forces you to look for protection in a mysterious cave – closer than ever.
What begins as a relationship on the rock turns into a troubling test of intimacy.
Brie and Franco, who have been married since 2017, said Ayesha Rucoe from NPR that their solid foundation inspired the couple to take on this project.
“I think if we didn't have the feeling that we had a healthy relationship, we would never have signed up to play these characters,” said Brie.
“Even if we get involved in this process with a healthy relationship, we also said that this could end when it comes to divorce, or we will encode than ever. Fortunately, it is the latter,” added Franco.
A restless mirror of long -term love
Under his uncanny action and dark humor, Together Explores deeper fears in modern relationships.
“It is a research into the fears of monogamy and toxic code donation. It can either sound romantic or sound scary,” said Brie.
“There is this idea to get lost in a relationship. And sometimes, yes, it's nice. But I think there are many people who are afraid of losing their identity in a relationship and I see how it could be a scary idea.”
Franco realized that people could see his relationship with Brie as a code provider, which, as he said, gave him a more nuanced view of the film.
“The film does not necessarily say that code donation is good or bad. I think different spectators will lose different things. We spoke to single people who saw this film and they say that this is a very strong argument for being single. Then we spoke to a couple that saw the film, and the week that is available until the screening, and they told them that the film actually helped them, the film actually helped them. to help. “
