“Together” premiered at Sundance, where it was acquired by Neon. IndieWire’s review by Kate Erbland called the film a “delightfully unhinged spin” on genre features. Neon will release “Together” in theaters on Friday, July 30.
Franco previously told IndieWire that “Together,” though, was an unprecedented experience. “This was like the most full-on thing we’ve ever done together,” Franco said. “We’re very picky about what we choose to do, especially when we’re onscreen together, just because we don’t want to burn people out on us.”
