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.

Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

"One and Two" never feels as momentous or as angsty as a good story about moody teenagers should, and that's mostly because the film lacks a menacing parental adversary.

Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com
Rotten

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.

Daniel M. Gold, New York Times

Sally Draper leaps to the big screen in this slight, sumptuous drama about teleporting teens.

David Ehrlich, Time Out
Rotten

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.

Harry Windsor, Hollywood Reporter
