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.

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

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.

Rated: 4/5

If you're a Beatles fan, this is compulsive viewing. If you're not, it's an interesting look at the early 1970s.

You might have thought there was nothing new left to say about John Lennon, Yoko Ono, or the two of them, but this documentary finds a way.

The Movie Cricket

[The documentary] pinpoints a crucial passage in the shared lives of John Lennon and Yoko Ono — a time when the ex-Beatle was feeling his way through the applications of his fame, and relying on his wife and artistic collaborator as his north star.

Rated: 3.5/4

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!
