Together (2025): parents' guide

17+our pick

Best for ages 17 and up. Rated R for violent/disturbing content, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and brief drug content.

A darkly funny but very graphic body-horror film for adults about a longtime couple, played by real-life spouses Dave Franco and Alison Brie, whose bodies begin fusing together after a night in a strange cave. Expect gruesome mutations, a saw cutting through flesh, a sex scene in a school bathroom, full male and female nudity, plenty of strong language and characters snorting crushed pills. One partner is still grieving his parents' recent deaths, and at one point he prepares to kill himself. It works as a metaphor for codependency, but the sex, nudity and gore are why we suggest 17.

What's in it

Violence

Strong

Graphic body horror throughout: limbs fusing and tearing apart, a saw cutting through joined flesh, arms slashed in a ritual, severed fingers, stabbings and choking. Two dogs, and later a missing couple, are found grotesquely merged.

Language

Strong

Strong language comes up often, including f-words, s-words and bulls--t, plus prick, goddamn, Jesus and damn.

Sex and nudity

Strong

A passionate sex scene with thrusting in a school bathroom, clothed but followed by a fantastical scene of fused genitals with full male nudity. A woman is also seen fully naked, with breast and buttock nudity.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Strong

Characters crush and snort large amounts of prescription pills to fight off the supernatural pull. Adults drink beer and wine at a party, use whiskey as an anesthetic and smoke cigarettes.

Scary or intense scenes

Strong

Sustained body horror with grotesque merged creatures, a rotting corpse, ghostly faces with red eyes and some jump scares. A character prepares to cut his own throat, and a cult's mass suicide is mentioned.

Sensitive topics

  • Suicide
  • Death of a parent

Worth talking about

The film turns codependency into literal body horror. What is the difference between being close to someone and losing yourself in them?
