Michael Nyqvist is particularly strong as Elisabeth's husband Rolf and where Moodysson excels is in his sensitive direction of the child actors who bring a restless energy and sheer wide-eyed incomprehension to the proceedings.
Moodysson's script may operate at a basic level (neatly underlined by Eva's comment "God, all adults are idiots"), but this doesn't prevent it from being insightful.
Pithy maxims are also Moodysson's trademark - "porridge together is better than pork cutlets alone" may smack of superficiality, but is an aptly sentimental metaphor for Together's emotional and thematic scope.
