Together (2025) review

Elementary school teacher Millie (Alison Brie) and her "partner" Tim (Dave Franco), a musician, move away from the city to a more rural area where she lands a teaching job and he struggles to compose new songs, but after they go on a hike, fall into a cave, have to spend the night there and eventually escape Tim undergoes seizure-like symptoms and their flesh turns so sticky they actually become physically stuck to each other.  Franco and Brie are married in real-life, so it tries using their innate chemistry as an (all too literal) allegory for the current state of relationships (their love life is non-existent), although with the majority of its focus on body horror and (quite good) special effects, and not so much actual details about their personalities and tangible problems they've been having, the "message" becomes hopelessly muddled.  Is it arguing that physical and emotional commitment to another individual erases a healthy sense of self?  Is it confirming Gen Z's fears that heterosexual fornication is "gross?"  Should men concentrate their energy on their careers - like Millie's co-worker Jamie (Damon Herriman) - and remain celibate, just to prevent their pee-pees from getting unnaturally trapped inside of a hoo-ha?
