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.

80
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.

75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
This restrained drama of lifelong friends drifting in separate directions is a quietly rich and resonant portrait of disconnection.

75
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Once in a while, a little reality can be a welcome antidote to our increasingly outsized film fantasies.

75
Portland Oregonian
Kim Morgan
A spare, internally emotional movie like One requires something called screen presence. Its two leads have it.

75
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Visceral and strong.

70
Film.com
Henry Cabot Beck
A very ambitious film that goes places few films have dared.

70
Film.com
John Hartl
A movie that keeps you wondering about its characters' true feelings and motives long after you've left the theater.

70
TV Guide
Ken Fox
A moody, beautifully acted character piece.

70
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.

60
Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
Too much of a study in formalism to register deeply on an emotional level.

50
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.

50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
A worthy subject is poorly executed.

50
Baltimore Sun
Mary Carole McCauley
Has the fingerprints of earnest, first-time filmmakers all over it.

30
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.

25
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A rare dud in the Shooting Gallery series.
