Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
If you care about the best kind of independent filmmaking, if you want the option of experiencing artistic films when you go to the movies, missing out on One is not an option. When a film like this appears, attention should be paid.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Manohla Dargis
Barbieri is a natural filmmaker, with an eye for film space and a gift for pacing. Both of his leads are wonderful, but it's Picoy who will break your heart.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
This restrained drama of lifelong friends drifting in separate directions is a quietly rich and resonant portrait of disconnection.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Once in a while, a little reality can be a welcome antidote to our increasingly outsized film fantasies.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
A spare, internally emotional movie like One requires something called screen presence. Its two leads have it.
Read Full Review >Film.com Henry Cabot Beck
A very ambitious film that goes places few films have dared.
Read Full Review >Film.com John Hartl
A movie that keeps you wondering about its characters' true feelings and motives long after you've left the theater.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Amy Taubin
Even more than the subtlety of the writing and acting, it's this sophisticated and emotionally potent visual strategy that suggests Barbieri's promise as a filmmaker and lifts One above the low-budget indie heap.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
Too much of a study in formalism to register deeply on an emotional level.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Russell Smith
All in all, this is perhaps one of those films you applaud more for design than execution while hoping at the same time that its boundary-testing restlessness becomes more widely influential.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Mary Carole McCauley
Has the fingerprints of earnest, first-time filmmakers all over it.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
The film's spareness and lack of words seem affected and ultimately unrealistic. At such moments, its refusal to put things into words and its crushing sense of gloom turn self-defeating.
