The story of two friends who grow apart over time, ONE, from debut director Tony Barbieri, is a realistic drama. Charlie (Jason Cairns) finishes a prison sentence and re-enters the world with a new lease on life. He moves in with an old pal, Nick (Kane Picoy), who had formerly been a baseball star but was ejected from the sport for assaulting his manager. As Charlie puts his life together, enrolling in college, getting a steady job, and falling in love, Nick's life seems to keep going downhill. The distance that grows between the two men is palpable, making ONE a moving and emotional film. [More]

Reviews for One
So tautly, engrossingly and convincingly told that it doesn't need much dialogue.
Screenplay also telegraphs the fates of both characters from very early on, a decision that sucks out a great deal of potential suspense and drama.
Goes too far in the direction of reticence, deliberately dampening the emotional resonance of the story so persistently that the characters become opaque and the narrative overly flat and matter-of-fact, even at the most wrenching moments.
One has some interesting scenes, but not enough to recommend it to most audiences.
Serious and uncompromising filmmaking in the best sense of the words.
This flick has all the trimmings of a fourth-year film school final project and just isn't ready for the big screen.
Even with such a mega-subdued story, One is still strangely watchable.
An effective, but self-conscious, exercise in contemporary neo-realism.
A moving and elegantly delivered drama about the waning of a friendship.
