Movie Review: Together (2021)
Dalin Rowell
With an event as significant as the COVID-19 pandemic, it can feel like a race to the finish line to create art inspired by this monumental point in history. And while some might give the side eye to a movie like Together — which follows the lives of a husband, wife and their son through…

Jude Andrew Williams (Jack O'Connell, "Money Monster") "always has a camera in his hand and a photograph in his mind."

There's no denying that being a teenager is a struggle. From the ever fluctuating emotions to the miscommunications between friends, its an uphill battle.
