John Anderson Wall Street Journal Indications thus far, however, are that Ms. DuVernay is more interested in how a filmmaker was empowered by his or her own filmmaking, something that’s very personal and not all that interesting. Mar 25, 2022 Full Review Michael Frank The Spool Despite sporadic moments of passion, especially from Lemmons and Chu, this end product forms into a disingenuous pat-on-the-back. Aug 16, 2022 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Clearly disappointing. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 May 16, 2022 Full Review Armond White National Review What’s most exasperating about One Perfect Shot is the evident indifference to cinema aesthetics and the beauty of what images mean. DuVernay doesn’t help viewers learn to read cinema. The only way to do that is through examples of great filmmaking. Mar 26, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider The core sensibility of the One Perfect Shot Twitter account was its perspective, that of a movie buff with a good eye for “wow” moments. But the series waters down that sense of wonder and admiration into bland puffery. Mar 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member In Ava DuVernay's brilliant One Perfect Shot, director C. Fitz not only reveals how movie magic is made but listens closely to the heart of each director. A reminder that Hollywood is better with an array of stories from those of different cultures. It's not only a show about F-stops, apertures, or the ideal focal length of a lens. Nor is it solely about when should a director use wide, medium or close-up angles. It's about the inner vision of each director and C. Fitz's episode with director Kasi Lemmons shines! Thus, for one perfect moment I felt the joy from freedom that Harriet Tubman must have felt! That is true movie magic and the greatest reason for cinema.
