- There is a “Good Will Hunting” vibe to the film, a gifted young person sliding toward obscurity who is helped by the intervention of friends and colleagues. And the film may end with all the lose ends tied up into fancy bows, but its heart is pure.
- 90Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshLos Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe story is simple but what makes the film remarkable is how Haley effortlessly, earnestly marshals performance, tone and style.
- 75IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandHaley’s tender approach may not sting, but it does leave a mark. Yes, it has a happy ending, but the film also makes it clear that such conclusions are only the start.
- 75The Associated PressMark KennedyThe Associated PressMark KennedyHave plenty of tissues nearby when you watch the top-notch Netflix film All Together Now, a teary tale of fellowship.
- The movie’s familiar suggestion of music as a light in the darkness works primarily because its star shines so brightly.
- 60VarietyAndrew BarkerVarietyAndrew BarkerAll Together Now has enough of Haley’s signature humanism to elevate it above the average teen melodrama, but only just.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe picture wallows for a bit, having deprived itself of the teen cheer that was its main driver. Of course the sun will come out again, after those Amber has given so much to eventually find a way to force her into the role of gracious recipient. The fact that the way they do this is entirely appropriate to the character doesn't keep the film's feel-good climax from feeling very, very familiar.
- 50Screen RantScreen RantDespite its fair amount of positives, All Together Now feels both too safe and too distant when it comes to its grittier subject matter.
- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s an uneven affair that begins with a flourish, works to develop homeless street cred, wanders into the maudlin wilderness for the middle acts and rallies for a predictable, over-the-top, break-out-your-Kleenex finale.
- 40The GuardianBenjamin LeeThe GuardianBenjamin LeeAn awkward misfire at best and an uneasy and irresponsible one at worst.
