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.

Ed Masley

Arizona Republic

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

Observer (UK)

One to One might not reveal a huge amount that’s new about Lennon, but it makes him feel bracingly alive in a way few other documentaries have managed.

Tim Grierson

Los Angeles Times

It’s a compelling, occasionally uneven attempt to bring the Beatles back down to Earth by illustrating the humanness of one of its members and the wife he adored.

Alan Light

Esquire Magazine

The months captured in the documentary are hardly John Lennon’s greatest creative era, but the velocity with which he’s moving, the excitement and energy he’s feeling, and the bravery of his personal journey are an inspiration.

Though occasionally it seems over-digressive, One to One does vividly capture a moment when musicians were very much part of the dialogue in another period of extreme national political division.

David Parkinson

Radio Times

Despite obvious evasions, it provides a fascinating insight into how one of the most famous men on the planet sought to use his influence for good in the couple of years after he ceased to be a Beatle.

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!

We loved the music and the many images from the seventies, but the photography did have a definite "home movie" feel.

Terrible. There was only one other couple in the theater with us and they walked out 30 minutes into it. We followed about 10 minutes later as we were seriously waiting for it to get better while I finished My popcorn. Please do not waste your money. Many of the scenes were not actual footage but old commercials and films of what was taking place in the world at the time, along with audio or phone calls there were in sync with the transcripts of the conversations put in the screen. Not worth the money. Poorly executed documentary.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
