One and Two's reviews
Media reviews
Los Angeles Times
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.
Time Out
Unfortunately, this austere allegory for the difficult process by which kids start to think for themselves only hints at the turbulence of its characters, who are kept at too far a remove for us to feel their growing pains.
The Playlist
The silent scenes, which hold so much power in the first act, feel emptier and emptier, as the conclusion nears. Moments where Halpern's score felt like it was adding to what was on screen, turn to moments where it's compensating for the lack of interest.
The Hollywood Reporter
Disparate influences percolate but never quite cohere in Andrew Droz Palermo's first narrative feature 'One & Two', which while atmospheric and beautifully lensed ends up being a touch too elliptical for its own good.
New York Times
The film tries, unsuccessfully, to walk the same eerie, atmospheric trail as 'The Village' by M. Night Shyamalan, or any number of Stephen King works.
Variety
There are simply too many loose ends to distract us, and too much empty air in which audiences can't help but poke holes.
