This 2025 hit, which grossed $32 million after a theatrical run, blends romance, tension, and grotesque fusion effects that had audiences squirming.​
Dave Franco’s Standout Turn in Together
Dave Franco plays Tim Brassington, an aspiring musician grappling with trauma from his parents’ death and relationship woes as he relocates to the countryside with girlfriend Millie. Critics rave about Franco’s desperate vulnerability, calling it potentially his best performance, paired with practical effects that make the body-melding scenes hit hard. His chemistry with Brie feels authentic— they’ve shared the screen before in The Disaster Artist, The Rental, and Somebody I Used to Know—elevating the film’s themes of codependency and love gone literal.​
Together’s Hulu Arrival: Plot, Release Deets, and Must-Knows
Together, directed by Michael Shanks in his feature debut, follows Tim (Dave Franco) and Millie (Alison Brie) whose countryside move turns nightmarish after a cave fall exposes them to a force causing their bodies to fuse—starting with legs, escalating to arms and beyond. Key plot hooks include a mysterious spring, neighbor Jamie (Damon Herriman) with dark secrets tied to Aristophanes’ soulmate myth, and a finale where they embrace as “Tillie.” Runtime clocks 1h 42m, rated R for intense body horror, with a $3.5M budget that paid off in Sundance buzz and a Neon pickup for $17M.

It premiered at Sundance January 26, 2025, hit theaters July 30 (US)/31 (Australia), dropped digital August 26, and now streams on Hulu December 31—perfect for New Year’s chills. Supporting cast shines with Mia Morrissey as Cath, plus eerie practical effects from Larry Van Duynhoven and CGI by Framestore.​
Why Fans Are Streaming Together Now
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 90% with praise for the duo’s “metatextual” real-couple energy making the gnarly horror emotionally sticky—though some ding pacing and a polarizing ending. IMDb users love the originality, dark humor, and jumpscares, with Franco and Brie’s intimacy feeling “very real” in stuck-together scenes (they even shared bathroom breaks filming). Score by Cornel Wilczek twists love themes into distorted tracks like “Rat King,” featuring Spice Girls’ “2 Become 1.”​
