One Life Ratings & Reviews
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Hanky, please, for the humanitarian the U.K. press dubbed the "British Schindler."
The Michael Medved Show
Michael Medved
One of the best films of 2024...Sir Anthony Hopkins gives a performance that can break your heart.
Common Sense Media
Stefan Pape
The performance by Hopkins is wonderful, though, in a role you just feel was made for this treasured actor.
North Shore Movies
Daniel M. Kimmel
Some may find the film overly sentimental, but it earns those emotions honestly. It's hard not to be moved to tears at the moment when the elder Winton is confronted with the enormity of what he accomplished.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
A less-than-extraordinary film that is nevertheless heartwarming.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
"One Life" is a slow burn, slowly establishing Winton's modest character as a younger and older man, but when it cracks open, it is a deeply moving portrait of true human goodness.
Observer
Rex Reed
As we continue to grapple with today's issues of war, refugee crisis and growing antisemitism, the film's relevance is so troubling that you cannot fail to be moved by it.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
The emotional payoff takes a while to arrive, but once it does in the last act of this film, you'll have a hard time forgetting Hopkins' face.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
In trying to capture this almost stoic modesty, the film, directed by James Hawes, falls into a dramaturgical trap.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It certainly left me sobbing, and that's a credit to Hopkins' impeccable performance as well as Hawes' sure-handed, straightforward direction.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The film is quite gripping in its attention to the bureaucratic hurdles and mind-boggling logistics that Nicky and soon his mother (Bonham Carter), a German-Jewish refugee herself, must surmount to start moving children to safety.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"One Life" tells a story that needed to be told and tells it impeccably.
Chicago Reader
Noah Berlatsky
One Life is a perfectly respectable entree in the feel-good Holocaust genre. The existence of this genre, though, feels more and more obscene.
Slant Magazine
Gregory Nussen
Nicholas Winton's heroics were astonishing, but One Life does the "British Schindler" a disservice by reducing them to the stuff of facts and figures, which is galling given how readily they call out for more feeling and depth.

Dwight Brown
Larger-than-life characters save the most vulnerable. The actors who portray them do so with great dignity: Hopkins, John Flynn, Lena Olin, Helena Bonham Carter, Jonathan Pryce. You're pulled into the protagonists' feverish plans.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Conventional but moving.
Variety
Alissa Simon
Serves as an urgent reminder of the importance of individual action at a time when the world refugee crisis is at a scale not seen since the Second World War.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
It delivers a lot of what we've already seen before, but on a less-than-cinematic scale. Yet spending some time with Hopkins and exploring a speck of light in one of the world's darkest chapters is just satisfying enough.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Anthony Hopkins does no wrong here, of course, and makes several smart decisions to ground his character, but he's only in roughly half the film, and the rest is about as standardly made as a Wikipedia entry.
IndieWire
Sophie Monks Kaufman
The undeniably moving nature of Winton and his associates' deeds swell the narrative with rich emotional currents, however the film's bid for consistent quality is kneecapped by a ridiculously on-the-nose script.
