What Together (2025) Movie Gets Right About Narcissist–Codependent Relationships


Listen Later

Ross Rosenberg gives a mini movie review, but focuses on the concept of the complete loss of one's identity as it melds into that of the pathological narcissist. 

Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie abandon their old lives and move to the countryside, hoping to escape their problems. But when all you have left is each other, love can turn into something monstrous. After tensions between them reach a breaking point, a mysterious, unnatural force invades their lives—twisting their love into a nightmare. As their bodies and minds begin to fuse together, the film explores the terrifying extremes of codependency, narcissism, and toxic relationships.

In this video, I’ll break down:
✔ The film’s shocking body horror and psychological terror
✔ How it reflects real-life dysfunctional relationships (with insights from therapist Ross Rosenberg)
✔ The deeper meaning behind the ending—is this true love or pure horror?
✔ Why "becoming one" isn’t always romantic… sometimes, it’s a curse.

Is Together a metaphor for toxic love, or is there something even darker at play? Let’s analyze this underrated horror gem—before it’s too late.
