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.
Trash of a very appealing kind, and highly satisfying as just that.
...devoid of anything even resembling competence.
The film doesn't mean anything, but it's beautifully photographed and the cast is blindingly gorgeous and frequently naked.
One to Another cannot be appreciated without some measure of guilt.
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.
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.
Top CriticThe 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).

A stubbornly enticing mystery
What sets it apart is all that's so effectively left unsaid.
Top CriticDeeply sincere, laughably misjudged, and insultingly shallow.
If this is art, Cinemax is the Louvre.
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.
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 could or would make a movie like this. You'll enjoy it if you turn off your brain and concentrate on the eye candy.
