NPR

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.

One to One: John & Yoko may not end up being the most crowd-pleasing documentary made on a band member of The Beatles. However, if you do get a chance to see it on an IMAX screen, the chances of you never forgetting it are extremely high.

Rated: 3.5/4

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!
