Review of One & Two (2015) by Tornadocreator — 08 Apr 2016

I made a point of seeing lesser known films this year, this being the first of the limited release films I saw and honestly, if it wasn't for my unlimited cinema pass I'd have felt extremely cheated by this film.

The film starts out with an interesting concept, building up these kids that have the ability to move through space; in effect teleport. It's an interesting contrast to the very realistic and grounded tone of the film, as there's nothing else supernatural or sci-fi happening, and no attention is really drawn to the fact that these kids teleport. They start a sub-plot where the father is abusive to the kids only for... nothing.

That's the entire film. The build up these two disparate topics and then the film just ends. There's no resolution, no arc, not even any real drama or intrigue. They establish the basic themes only to have nothing at all happen. They could have reduced everything in this film down to about 20 minutes and it'd make for an interesting opening to a film, but as it stands it's a drawn out boring film, that have an interesting concept, and makes you feel cheated when it does absolutely sod all with it. A total waste of time.
