It stars James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan as a couple re-evaluating their relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Samuel Logan making an appearance as their son, Artie.

Together was officially announced on 13 May 2021,[2] when a "first look" image was released revealing that James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan would star in the film, set during the COVID-19 pandemic, as a couple re-evaluating their relationship.

[5] In an interview, Kelly said that he originally wrote the screenplay for a theatrical release but was encouraged by Daldry and producer Sonia Friedman to make it for television.

[7] As the entire feature takes place in a single setting, filming was quickly completed under COVID-19 protocols in one house, with Horgan describing it as a "beautifully stressful experience".

The website's critics consensus reads: "Together is a little too effective at recreating the lockdown experience, although Sharon Horgan and James McAvoy are an appealing duo.

Furthermore, she described it as a "claustrophobic" viewing, detailing the usage of monologues to dispense information and how it "captures perfectly the emotional dilapidations of a dying relationship".

[1] Writing for The Irish Times, Ed Power gave positive remarks to Sharon Horgan's performance but found the fourth wall breaks "discommoding" to the viewer.

"[19] Rachel Cooke, writing for New Statesman, gave a negative review and found it was a "cheap and obvious pandemic piggybacking" film she described as "tedious and excruciating".

Its depiction of the gap between the irrepressible people we heard about, who spent the time taking up new hobbies, and the rest of us, who were just trying to limp across each day, is spot on."
