Watching them [Khani Le and Matt Robertson] nurture a budding relationship while enduring one of the worst eras of modern human history is suspenseful.

2/5

Günther executes stray powerful moments, but his lack of a handle on the material leads to two hours so meandering that the story drifts away in a haze of boredom.

3/5

We know from the film’s antecedents that bleakness is not the only way of telling this tale, nor is it necessarily the most truthful one. Yet Günther gives us his own version with conviction.

3/5

Despite a weak third act, One of These Days mostly succeeds as an engaging drama that delves into the harsh world of American capitalism.

One of These Days was not subtle by any means. A tighter focus and more editing could have turned this film into a scathing commentary about life in the American rural south.

One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, over an hour of people standing with their hands on a truck, then 5 mins of action and it goes back to a guy living his life and that’s the end. 2 hours I’ll never get back

Ending was very surprising, I thought Kyle was going to win. Joe Cole is an amazing actor and I only saw this movie because of him.

‘One Of These Days' is beyond depressing, which ironically makes it so good.
