Stephen Holden, New York Times: A dour Gallic comedy about five septuagenarian friends living comfortably in the outskirts of Paris who decide to share a house rather than move into retirement homes. Read more

Rex Reed, New York Observer: The acting is solid, and the maturity of vision mixed with humor should appeal to the same audience that turned The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel into such an unexpected runaway hit. Read more

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Minutes and minutes of cute comedy ensue. Read more

Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: It's too bad the filmmaker felt the need to lighten his unvarnished observations about aging with "cute" stuff. Read more

Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic: All Together is precisely the sort of picture that many have been missing from Hollywood. Read more

Joel Arnold, NPR: The film's central performances reflect both its celebration of age and a sense of wistfulness. Read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: As middling comedies go, the French approach has certain virtues. If good wine and long talks with friends can't prevent the inevitable, at least they make the waiting more tolerable. Read more

Peter Howell, Toronto Star: And If We All Lived Together? is just fine as it is. Read more

Keith Uhlich, Time Out: You can't help but get caught up in the shenanigans, and it's mostly thanks to the film's two luminous leading ladies. Read more

Ernest Hardy, Village Voice: Well-acted and directed, with melancholy grooved insights that will only be news to the young and narcissistic, Together is a pleasant way to while away an afternoon and see some old pros in great form. Read more
