Selome Hailu Austin Chronicle 05/13/2021
3.5/5
The college archetypes get a bit on-the-nose, and some lingering underwater scenes feel jammed in to match other coming-of-agers. But ultimately, the imperfections just feel cute. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 05/20/2021
3/5
A freeform comedy about a group of interconnected people in their early 20s, this movie coasts on its energetic pace and performances rather than narrative momentum. Go to Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media 05/19/2021

07/03/2021 Excellent movie. Very well written, it surprised me. See more 06/05/2021 Memories of house parties and overdue late nights with old friends seem distant with covid so close in our review mirror, and The Get Together reminds us of all the richness we've missed. With first-rate cinematography and music, the film captures the feeling of dissonance after college while inviting us into our own stories of growing up, letting go, and going back to what really matters.
