An expansive and revelatory inside look at the 18 months John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent living in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of Lennon's only full-length, post-Beatles concert. With mind-blowing remastered audio overseen by their son, Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a seismic revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of the iconic couple.

By using TV to tell their story, "One To One: John & Yoko" retells the story of that time as well -- incendiary times, inspirational artists, amazing music.

If nothing else, One to One reminds us of one of the gravest dangers of the modern world: That of becoming anesthetized to human suffering around us.

It feels overly long at 1 hour and 40 minutes, moving not at a snail’s pace so much as the pace of a snail the other snails make fun of for being so slow.

Rated: 3.5/5

Daily Telegraph (Australia)

Remarkably, One to One justifies its existence with ease, tracking the unforeseen route taken by John Lennon to establish a new life after The Beatles.

Rated: 4/5

...it’s almost touching to see the faith that figures such as Jerry Rubin, John and Yoko had in “the people” – the same people who gorged themselves on consumer junk, spent their lives watching TV, and voted for Nixon in record numbers.

El Pais (Spain)

[One to One] works because so much happened in that year and a half [between 1971 and 1973], and because by limiting it so much, it leaves out the more bitter moments that came later. [Full review in Spanish]

I really enjoyed how they connected the concert with the relevant topics of the day that centered around the Lennons. John's voice was so strong and powerful that it brought a little sadness knowing this was the only full concert he did without the Beatles.

Superb, if the topic interests you. It is a documentary mixing John Lennon concert excerpts with early 1970’s politics. Brings back memories.

Really captured the gritty feel of NYC in the early 70's. The concert footage was amazing. Great montages from the era. No talking heads speaking about John & Yoko. Excellent fim!
