Anyone who lived through the pandemic will find reminders of what things were like during its early days in Alone Together. But despite a title suggesting another gruesome COVID lockdown chronicle, this movie is mostly simply a story of two people getting to know each other through pandemic-occasioning happenstance. Nicely shot and very well acted, this is an all-around enjoyable movie with pleasing moments of low-key romance. According to the credits, the version of "Blue Moon" at the film's start is performed by the writer/director's daughter, Suri.
