3/5
It's like Terrence Malick were making a superhero origin story. The lack of explanation wouldn't be a problem if the ending didn't feel somehow predictable and lethargic, but the cast help make this watchable. Go to Full Review

2/5
It looks beautiful and there is an interesting denouement, but it disappoints; the build-up just isn't developed enough for it to matter. Go to Full Review
Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times Aug 20, 2015
Gorgeous and naturalistic shots by cinematographer by Autumn Durald speak volumes, and the atonal, foreboding score by Nathan Halpern creates a sense of dread, though they are ultimately squandered in an underdeveloped story. Go to Full Review
Sarah Brinks Battleship Pretension Jan 14, 2021
With two excellent lead performances, a compelling premise, and a fine sense to tease a mystery, One & Two should prove quite pleasing to sci-fi fans. Go to Full Review

2/5
Bogged down by loose direction, an underdeveloped script and little more than surface characterisation. Go to Full Review

3/5
The sci-fi element confounds rather than enhances; we're left with a sense of anticlimax fuelled by loose ends and unexplored potential. Go to Full Review

SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch Jan 15, 2024 Overall, I found the film to be decent - not necessarily bad, but with its fair share of ups and downs. The storyline occasionally veered into the realm of the absurd, which could be a bit jarring at times. At the end of the day, while it may not be a cinematic masterpiece, it's still worth a watch, if only to get another dose of Timothée Chalamet on screen. However, it's not the type of movie that I would find myself revisiting frequently. It's more suited for a one-time viewing, perhaps as background entertainment while doing chores like vacuuming or during a casual TV session. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic Jul 26, 2023 A movie that deals with a little bit of everything. Bonds between siblings, people fearing with what they don't understand, helicopter parents, and do the kids super powers affect their mother seizures..... A very interesting movie nevertheless. See more Jul 13, 2018 Great leads in Shipka and the stunning Chalamet, but promising plot turned to dust. See more Sep 8, 2017 I love the style and feel of the film, along with great performances by the young leads, but halfway through, it just never answered any of the questions it seemed to rely on so heavily to move the film forward, and that cryptic teasing carrot leading me on became an annoying trick, just like at the greyhound racetrack. I like mysteries and things left unanswered, but if that's all you seem to have is unanswered questions, it loses its charm and appeal after awhile. There wasn't much character development or emotional connection. See more Sep 18, 2016 One & Two is a hypnotic drama about teleporting teens, eventhough the acting isn't all that great. See more Feb 14, 2016 Jumper: There and back again. There are plenty of similar themes, but 'Jumper' will be the first anyone can remember. Its not a time travel theme, but a space travel film. Don't assume the outer space, very much in our Earth's atmosphere space travel like a supernatural. This is a slow fantasy-drama about two teen siblings who are living in an isolated location and their inherited ability to cheat space within their sight. What goes wrong when they just want to play with it, but it's forbidden by their strict father is the rest of the story. It is a weakest writing for a movie that borrowed an idea from the others. Failed to capitalise and falls into an average list. There is no particular performance to point out, but Kiernan Shipka is who had more screenspace and was decent with her show. There's nothing much to talk about the movie, the dialogues were very rare and too short. A simple drama, mostly boring for its uninteresting under developed scenes. Surely a watchable movie, but does it worth spending your time? I don't think so, thankfully it was not the worst film I've ever seen. 6/10 See more Read all reviews
