Bleecker Street has released the first trailer and poster forTogether, the upcoming dark comedy film from Academy Award-nominated directorStephen Daldrythat starsJames McAvoy(Split,X-Men: Days of Future Past) andSharon Horgan(Catastrophe,Game Night) as two romantic partners who are forced to rethink their relationship when they’re quarantined together in lockdown. The film will be released in theaters on August 27.
The trailer immediately offers a sense of the comedic stylings on display, and proves that McAvoy and Horgan have an undeniable chemistry on-screen together. As the couple makes their frustrations and anxieties known not only to one another, but occasionally even breaking the fourth wall to address the audience watching (or interrupting each other’s monologues),Togetherfeels like a film that will all too accurately capture the varying range of emotions we’ve all had while experiencing the last year within the quarantine of our homes.
