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.

In shining a light on a kind of interstitial moment, an in-between period of definite endings and uncertain beginnings, this year (and a bit) in the life of John Lennon and Yoko Ono finds just enough new angles and details.

3/5

Ably directed by filmmakers Kevin Macdonald...and Sam Rice-Edwards,...this feature-length documentary adds some welcome detail to the myths and misconceptions that have hung over John Lennon and Yoko One in the years after the Beatles split.

By using TV to tell their story, "One To One: John & Yoko" retells the story of that time as well -- incendiary times, inspirational artists, amazing music.

The lack of editorialization... makes the documentary’s ultimate message unclear.

3.5/5

While the documentary leans heavily on politics and television culture—sometimes at the expense of the music—it never loses its grip on the viewer’s attention.

Always thoughtful, and often startlingly immersive, One to One: John & Yoko succeeds mightily as a documentary by not really following any documentary rules at all.

I really enjoyed how they connected the concert with the relevant topics of the day that centered around the Lennons. John's voice was so strong and powerful that it brought a little sadness knowing this was the only full concert he did without the Beatles.

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!
