"The makings of a cult classic music doc."
— Refinery29
"An intimate examination of community in a time of isolation."
— The Wrap
"In the end, Alone Together is a love story — about the love between Charli and her fans."
— Chris Willman, Variety
"Highlighting the reciprocal nature that many musicians share with their fans in unprecedented fashion, the film’s raw and authentic approach is as engaging as Charli herself."
— Rachel Reeves, Consequence
"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."
— The Hollywood Reporter
"The decision to frame the making of the album through the lens of individual fans, many of whom belong to the LGBT+ community, distinguishes Alone Together from many recent pop docs, giving the film a unique, inclusive perspective."
— Cassidy Olsen, Little White Lies
"Glitched together from dozens of Charli’s boom-tastic PC Music bangers and punctuated with computer-generated animation (impish avatars and the like), the film nails the semi-digital existence that we all have come to understand as its own kind of reality."
— David Ehrlich, IndieWire
