One by One (2014)
9/10
Prophetic. Dramatic. I'm now wide awake
20 December 2020
You know those days when you think maybe we're part of something bigger than we know? This film is that. If you're looking to open your mind, then look no further.

Rik Mayall's a childhood hero so I'd watch him in anything, but I'm glad he took me to One By One. It's his last British film and he's not playing the typical 'Rik Mayall role'. His serious character is the heart and mind of the movie and worth a watch for any Mayall fan, but I won't beat around the bush! One By One is a low-budget indie debut, so it's rough around the edges, but the message is clear - question everything!

Think you own your car? Question that! Was 9/11 an 'inside job'? Hear the debate. Climate control or population control? You tell me! In 2020, perhaps the biggest question of all, and a question posed by the late, great Rik in this film... are vaccines created to control or are they the cure? Watch this and wonder.

The film's writer and director, Diane Jessie Miller, has created a drama that's not preachy but thought-provoking; she doesn't ask you believe anything, merely question what you know and think for yourself. I love the intention and I was hooked from start to finish. Revelation; revolution; action; anarchy; a couple of hours could change your life.

Will you wake up?! Watch it and see.
