One

While this is beautiful to look at it doesn't engage me in the slightest. When did she die? Or is he dead? I don't know, and I don't care. The film said nothing and there was zero character portrayal. If this won the sundance audience award, then god help us!!

In all respects, 'One' is a brilliant film. without even saying one word, the actors, Nikki Bridges and Drew Fuller. are able to convey all the emotions their characters are feeling, quite convincingly, I might add. The directing and the music give it a thrilling and highly atmospheric air. There's just one question I have to ask: what the heck? They never really come out and explain the plot, do they? Leaving us, the poor and confused audience, to try and figure it out for ourselves. Basically, before watching this film, ask yourself one question: are you willing to ponder the point of this movie afterwards? Rating: 5 stars.

Was watching this movie and was thinking of reviewing it,but had to do it just in between.This movie spoke to me in so many ways that I am having difficulty in writing them down,but I'll give it my best shot.For a long while I have been feeling well negativity.Even though I knew it was me and myself who was causing this,I could not comprehend this thought.Feelings of restlessness and pain just kept lingering in my mind.Nothing seemed to be going right.And then there was this movie.I don't want to write anything about this movie other than to pass on the message to anyone in any kind of negative mindset to just watch this movie once,for goodness sake at least.Empty your mind,let yourself be engaged and engrossed in the moment(which I guess what the people involved in this movie wanted)and just try to find meaning of anything and everything you feel you are searching.It helped me and I am sure it can help you.Peace!! :D

Short but a powerful movie of the fates that control our lives. In the beginning of the movie, we're introduced to a normal couple who seem to be upset. But as the movie rolls by, the simplicity turns into more when the audience are suddenly thrown into a wave of seemingly confusing sequences but the end is powerful and leaves a thought provoking moment.

The beauty of the movie not only lies in the fluid and emotional music, but the fact that no words were uttered during the entire movie. The soft everyday noises of life only builds to the impact of the finale. Even the editing matches smoothly with the soundtrack. The actors (Nikki Bridges and Drew Fuller) do extremely well in conveying their unspoken emotions and having the audience believe in their love.

What makes the movie wonderful is that unlike others, it doesn't lay out the ending on a silver platter for us to view. In fact, it allows us our own power of interpretation.

This short film is definitely worth five minutes of your time. For many years it has been viewable at ifilm (look up "stewart hendler" in the search box, for some reason "one" yields no results). Gorgeous visuals that really heighten the emotion. The music is haunting and fits the film perfectly. Great performances by the actors without a single word of dialogue. I love the central visual which is incorporated as a theme throughout the film. I've watched this film a dozen times in the past few years and it never fails to move me emotionally. The plot can be a little confusing, but I would simply suggest watching it twice - even twice it's only a ten minute investment!
