On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles, the One to One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, a rollicking, dazzling performance from him and Yoko Ono. Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald’s riveting documentary is a revelatory inside look at the 18 months John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent living in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, and the year of love, transformation, and protest that led to the legendary musical event. With electrifying, never-before-seen material, newly restored footage, and mind-blowing remastered audio overseen by their son, Sean Ono Lennon, the film is revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of two of history’s most influential artists.

"In its mix of remarkable archival material, the film is both tender and galvanizing, summoning up what New York felt like in 1972 (yes, I would know) and offering a fresh slant on a country’s upheaval and a generation’s countercultural awakening."
"In the early ’70s, [John Lennon] truly was a walking contradiction: a radical who sat around watching television; a powerful rock star who devoted himself to pleasing and honoring his avant-garde wife, even as he held onto his prickly libertine edge; a dyed-in-the-wool Brit who became the ultimate New Yorker. All of that ripples through One to One, making it the rare rock doc that’s a must-see."
