3/5
It's like Terrence Malick were making a superhero origin story. The lack of explanation wouldn't be a problem if the ending didn't feel somehow predictable and lethargic, but the cast help make this watchable. Go to Full Review

2/5
It looks beautiful and there is an interesting denouement, but it disappoints; the build-up just isn't developed enough for it to matter. Go to Full Review
Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times 08/20/2015
Gorgeous and naturalistic shots by cinematographer by Autumn Durald speak volumes, and the atonal, foreboding score by Nathan Halpern creates a sense of dread, though they are ultimately squandered in an underdeveloped story. Go to Full Review
Sarah Brinks Battleship Pretension 01/14/2021
With two excellent lead performances, a compelling premise, and a fine sense to tease a mystery, One & Two should prove quite pleasing to sci-fi fans. Go to Full Review
Matthew Anderson CineVue 04/08/2019
2/5
Bogged down by loose direction, an underdeveloped script and little more than surface characterisation. Go to Full Review

3/5
The sci-fi element confounds rather than enhances; we're left with a sense of anticlimax fuelled by loose ends and unexplored potential. Go to Full Review

P K 07/03/2024 The acting from the leads makes it watchable so if you're a timothee chalamet fan it's not bad since they both do a great job. The movie doesn't really make any sense as to what the whole point is i Kinda interpretated it as an over religious father repremanding his kids negativitly for being themselves but them learning maybe some of what he says is right which is a common relatable message but it doesnt have any backstory really at all as to why they even have these powers and what the whole purpose of them is it's kinda left up to interpretation I guess. The dad's acting is kinda bad at times like corny in parts but not overall. Kind of a neat concept that doesn't really go anywhere or serve any purpose. See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch 01/15/2024 Overall, I found the film to be decent - not necessarily bad, but with its fair share of ups and downs. The storyline occasionally veered into the realm of the absurd, which could be a bit jarring at times. At the end of the day, while it may not be a cinematic masterpiece, it's still worth a watch, if only to get another dose of Timothée Chalamet on screen. However, it's not the type of movie that I would find myself revisiting frequently. It's more suited for a one-time viewing, perhaps as background entertainment while doing chores like vacuuming or during a casual TV session. See more Jelisije J 07/26/2023 A movie that deals with a little bit of everything. Bonds between siblings, people fearing with what they don't understand, helicopter parents, and do the kids super powers affect their mother seizures..... A very interesting movie nevertheless. See more 07/13/2018 Great leads in Shipka and the stunning Chalamet, but promising plot turned to dust. See more 09/08/2017 I love the style and feel of the film, along with great performances by the young leads, but halfway through, it just never answered any of the questions it seemed to rely on so heavily to move the film forward, and that cryptic teasing carrot leading me on became an annoying trick, just like at the greyhound racetrack. I like mysteries and things left unanswered, but if that's all you seem to have is unanswered questions, it loses its charm and appeal after awhile. There wasn't much character development or emotional connection. See more 09/18/2016 One & Two is a hypnotic drama about teleporting teens, eventhough the acting isn't all that great.
