Synopsis: Lucie and Pierre, 20-year-old brother and sister, share an intimate relationship with each other and their group of friends. Pierre is a magnet for the band of youths, but he himself is unstable... Lucie and Pierre, 20-year-old brother and sister, share an intimate relationship with each other and their group of friends. Pierre is a magnet for the band of youths, but he himself is unstable and narcissistic. One day Pierre is found savagely murdered. As the police investigation drags on, Lucie, aided by her friends, decides to find out who killed her brother. As we get deeper into the story, we learn of complexly cross-hatched dependencies and humiliations, where bodies are casually traded and ransomed. The surprise ending prompts as many questions as it answers about how sexuality can both inspire and defeat us. --© Strand Releasing [More]

Reviews for One to Another
The film doesn't mean anything, but it's beautifully photographed and the cast is blindingly gorgeous and frequently naked.
An uncommonly sensual and disquieting take on a familiar youth-movie theme: how the cocoon of adolescent sexual awakening can be torn apart by violent desire.
I found the film to be engrossing and fairly well done and would recommend it.
Only the French seem to get away with passing off sensational sex romps as high art, but One to Another is pretty much just trashy -- its murder-mystery conceit a sideshow to the film's primary offering: nubile nudity.
It's a bold and watchable look at a group of friends in their late teens/early 20s -- four men and one woman -- who share a codependent, sometimes sexual, always provocative relationship.
Only the French could or would make a movie like this. You'll enjoy it if you turn off your brain and concentrate on the eye candy.
The confusing time line of Pascal Arnold and Jean-Marc Barr's bizarre tale of sibling romance, murder and obsession is just one of its problems. The others are the romance, the murder and the obsession.
The flaw is underscored by the one-bod-fits-all casting that renders everyone indistinguishable, especially when they have their clothes off (which is a good deal of the picture).
Dumb instincts dominate One to Another, whose comely performers don’t so much act as erupt.
Uneven thesping...assorted inanities...and a narrow focus turn the potentially fascinating tale into a bland, perverse round-robin of teen angst.
