Portland OregonianMarc MohanJan 3, 2013
The last time Jane Fonda acted in a French-language film, it was Jean-Luc Godard's radical 1972 effort "Tout Va Bien." It's fitting, then, that she fluently plays Jeanne, one of five aging leftists in this slight, but never frivolous, tale. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene RodriguezOct 19, 2012
Writer-director Stephane Robelin's frothy comedy is much more "Golden Girls" hijinks than "On Golden Pond." Read full review

ObserverRex ReedOct 16, 2012
Jane Fonda's first French-speaking film in 40 years finds her leading a joyous ensemble of septuagenarians in a sweet, thoughtful and spirited examination of how to grow old with dignity and pride in a regrettable era when senior citizens have been reduced to the status of a political agenda.

NPRJoel ArnoldOct 18, 2012
It's Pierre Richard, however, who anchors All Together, portraying Albert as stubbornly happy-go-lucky, a man bent on retaining his jovial disposition even as he's frustrated by what he's forgotten. Read full review

Village VoiceErnest HardyOct 17, 2012
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 full review

Boston GlobeWesley MorrisOct 18, 2012
The comedy in Robelin's movie veers from wacky and overwritten to truly, beautifully sad, especially the whimsical final sequence, which is as apt an existential tribute to the afterglow of Fonda's fabulousness as you'll see. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyOct 17, 2012
In its second half, the movie tips into familiar Gallic farce territory before settling for a formulaic sentimental kicker. 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 full review

Time OutKeith UhlichOct 16, 2012
Getting old's a bitch. But the long-in-the-tooth quintet (Chaplin, Fonda, Guy Bedos, Claude Rich and Pierre Richard) at the center of Stéphane Robelin's featherweight French comedy has it all figured out. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenOct 20, 2012
It's too bad the filmmaker felt the need to lighten his unvarnished observations about aging with "cute" stuff. Has there ever been a worthwhile payoff from the introduction of Viagra to a plot line? Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenOct 18, 2012
If the characters are likable enough, they are underdeveloped and have little of the quirky individuality or dimension of the adventurous seniors portrayed in the superior (but sugarcoated) movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." For a truthful film about those final years, you'll have to wait for Michael Haneke's heartbreaking masterpiece "Amour," which is to open in December. Read full review

Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerOct 16, 2012
The film is somewhat flimsy, tinged with the impulse to make the elderly characters just the right amount of ridiculous for the benefit of younger viewers. Read full review

Amiable but ambling. Read full review
