    Such a fascinating documentary on John Lennon and Yoko Ono's life shortly after The Beatles broke up. While it doesn't change my opinion of Yoko Ono, I found their partnership, worldviews, activism, and open-mindedness to be refreshing. Both are complex figures who shouldn't receive any more backlash from angry fans. They aren't gods or perfect. They're humans like us. Did Yoko Ono break up The Beatles? No, but John's attraction and wanting to spend all his time with her were among the causes. John Lennon is still deeply missed by fans.

    Brilliant and beautifully made. Thoughtful provocative and politically just as relevant today- but the big difference is today young people have become passive. One to One shows the power is with the people. The concert footage was powerful. Pray for peace

    This was amazing! One of my kids is in Beatle mania right now. Drove several hours to a theater that was playing it. I went with the intention of being bored and taking a nap. This was riveting. The coverage of the era itself was great. Viewing the work of Lenon was eye opening. We cant wait to watch it again once its streaming. If you have any doubts about watching this- just do it!

    Superb, if the topic interests you. It is a documentary mixing John Lennon concert excerpts with early 1970’s politics. Brings back memories.

    A great period piece framed around the experiences of the Lennons post Beatles in the very early 70s . I shows John and Yoko to be compassionate, caring and good people caught in the times and able to leverage Johns fame to influence certain events for good. There is some tremendous concert footage, particularly John singing Mother and Imagine which made me weep!

    Very well done documentary! Showed a wonderful side of Yoko & John that I have not seen. I wish he and all the others from that era were here to help us today! We could sure use it!

    This was almost missed and played only 1 night at AMC near me. When it appeared it was serendipity. Met and spoke w/ George once about Indian music I also studied as he did, and some health matters as he was getting acupuncture at the time in a clinic I was involved in. Ringo called my home looking for his pal who was staying w/ me. Definitely highlights of an avocation in a musical life, albeit a flicker. John is missed by us, and the movie captures a segment of his last work that was important in his legacy. Yoko was presented very well, and I respected her freedom of expression. Lots of primal free elecrrons orbiting in the artist(s). See the movie. HBO may present it as they sponsored it.

    I seem to never tire of watching footage of the late 1960s and early 1970s, a time when I was around but was too young to really process what was going on and, more importantly, too young to be allowed to be involved in anything of that sort. I would say that, overall, I have an ambivalent attitude toward John Lennon. But this movie portrayed him in a way that made me feel more respect for him and also for Yoko. I think he was a troubled soul because of his crazy upbringing, but I think he tried to make the best of his life and do good things for humanity with the wealth and influence he possessed. And my impression is that he was very good to the aunt who raised him, staying in touch with her on a weekly basis for the rest of his life.
