	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"An effectively resonant account of a certain kind of stir-crazy, claustrophobic pandemic process and the ways our collective sadness and restlessness have helped form unlikely communities."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The directors do a brilliant job of making its ad-hoc, mixed-media aesthetic into more of a feature than a bug"	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"[It] has moments where it [becomes] an intimate examination of community in a time of isolation. And in those moments, the film has an impact that reaches far beyond what it shows you about one artist’s music"	POS
United States	Chris Willman Variety	"In the end, 'Alone Together' is a love story — about the love between Charli and her fans (...) It’s not hard to see why they adore her, or her them."	POS
United States	Brianna Zigler The Film Stage	"The fascinating documentary is an honest, empathetic look at adapting to pandemic life, reckoning with our creative identities, and the positive power of fandom."	POS
United States	Adam Graham Detroit News	"So as with most connections over computer screens, it's tough to dig much deeper than surface level, and 'Alone Together' suffers from a lack of human touch."	NEG
United States	Sushri Sahu Mashable	"I laughed, I cried, I giggled and that’s all that matters. The best part is I could connect to the entire process even without being a fan of her Charli’s music (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Johnny Loftus Decider	"'Alone Together' works on a lot of levels – as a document of the creative process, as the fostering of a community, and as an example of music and creativity as therapy."	POS
United Kingdom	Phil Hoad The Guardian	"Charli XCX's drive and heart are infectious, even for non-Angels (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Sydney Urbanek Paste Magazine	"The album seems to have sprung largely out of a desire to be productive while in quarantine, but the film is a welcome reminder that a little self-grace is always possible"	POS
United States	Roxana Hadadi The Playlist	"For as much as Charli is the star of this documentary, her fans are, too, and 'Alone Together' manifests as both a wild ride and a soothing balm"	POS
