Premiering at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, the film sparked immediate buzz, with Neon acquiring its distribution rights for a reported $17 million. Its theatrical release on July 30, 2025, in the United States and July 31 in Australia has only amplified its acclaim.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Critics have hailed *\u003Cstrong>Together\u003C/strong>* as a groundbreaking entry in the body horror genre, with some calling it "the most romantic horror movie ever made" while simultaneously warning that it’s "the worst possible date night film." The film’s ability to balance squishy, stomach-churning visuals with a heartfelt exploration of co-dependency has drawn comparisons to the works of David Cronenberg and Brian Yuzna, yet Shanks’ vision feels distinctly fresh. Reviews praise the film’s effects and its ability to provoke both laughter and gasps, with one critic noting, “It’s a twisted, f–ked-up romance about taking the plunge and seeing what works out best in the end.”\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The chemistry between Franco and Brie, who play a couple grappling with a failed marriage proposal and a move to the countryside, adds an extra layer of authenticity. Their performances have been described as “jaw-dropping” and “exceptional,” with critics highlighting the physical and emotional demands of their roles.
