One to One is a captivating addition to the canon.

Director Kevin Macdonald makes John Lennon and Yoko Ono's long-lost Madison Square Garden concerts from 1972 the documentary’s centerpiece.

Sean Ono Lennon talks and emailed with Vanity Fair about the documentary and his parents.

One to One is largely about an electric political moment in the ’70s, but I don’t see how anybody could watch it and not be moved by the personal pain they’re singing about.

I grew up listening to “God” and “Mother” (sister tunes to my ears), and was very moved by them even before I could understand them.

The transformation in his style from Beatle to solo artist is unprecedented for someone of his stature.

One to One is experimental in the sense that you don’t know what’s going to come at you next.

It was a brilliant concept to tell the story of John and Yoko 's political years.

The idea that Julian Lennon and Julian Lennon were ever not close is wrong, he says.
