Untogether — Official Trailer

added: Fri, Jan 11th '19

Real-life sisters Jemima Kirke (Girls) and Lola Kirke (Mozart in the Jungle) star as a pair of sisters living together in Los Angeles in this ensemble relationship dramedy, for which a trailer has been released.

Written and directed by journalist/novelist/screenwriter Emma Forrest (it's her directorial debut), "Untogether" centers on Andrea and Tara (Jemima and Lola Kirke), two very different sisters, yet who find themselves facing similar challenges of dating complicated men.

In this case, Andrea has just fallen for a hunky physician, played by "Fifty Shades" star Jamie Dornan. The thing is, he is already committed to another woman, so he just wants a one-night stand but their fling ultimately evolves into something more.

Meanwhile, Tara is stuck in a dead-end relationship with a much older man, played by Rogue One's Ben Mendelsohn (the director's now ex-husband). Tara turns to religion for help and guidance and soon befriends a funny, charismatic Rabbi, played by veteran comedian Billy Crystal.

After premiering at last year's Tribeca Film Festival, "Untogether," which also co-stars Jennifer Grey, Scott Caan, and Alice Eve, is coming to select theaters and on VOD February 8th. Watch the trailer, above.

synopsis:
UNTOGETHER is the story of Nick (Jamie Dornan) and Andrea (Jemima Kirke) whose one night stand evolves into something more, though the exact parameters are blurry and undefined. He is a doctor and author whose heroics in the Middle East gained him international fame. She is a writing prodigy fully consumed with destructive vices, navigating Los Angeles without a driver's license or credit card and sharing a home with her sister Tara (Lola Kirke).

Meanwhile, Tara is dealing with relationship issues of her own as she slowly slips away from her boyfriend Martin (Ben Mendelsohn), who gave up his Australian fame as a rock 'n' roll god to be with her. Her way of acting out is to lose herself in religion and seek solace in a charismatic Rabbi (Billy Crystal).

This is who they've all been so far but do they have the courage to find out who they really are?
