One of Us Ratings & Reviews
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
One of Us is a powerful look at how difficult it can be to leave a life that completely shaped and dictated one's worldview.
Hyperallergic
Jon Hogan
By employing refreshingly potent visuals in a marginalized story that needs telling, Ewing and Grady have created one of the year's best films.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Goes farther into observing Hasidic ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in US than any nonfiction film...Emotional pain of those trying to leave its control tugs at the heart.
Nonfics (Substack)
Jordan M. Smith
Ewing and Grady impart no judgement, but rather allow their subjects to reveal a self composed critique of the Hasidic community in which they were raised via an anxiously tailing camera that acts as both fly on the wall and confessional.

Robert Daniels
Filmmakers like Heidi and Rachel, are examples of why more female directors are needed.
Thrillist
Christopher Campbell
[Etty] is not only the standout subject of the triptych, but her courage and the film's portrayal of her transition into general society makes the whole thing a must-see.
Decider
Brett White
One of Us gives us a peek inside a mostly isolated world, and through it we learn that it has all the same problems.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
One of Us is a heartbreaking and devastating documentary
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
They had no interest in making an "objective documentary," although I doubt the Hasidim would have made themselves available to two women with a camera and their own hair.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
So much remains unresolved that when coupled with an inability to delve into the interior world of the Hasidic community makes for an unfinished, unsatisfying film.
IndieWire
Jude Dry
One of Us offers a rare window into a highly insular community that is often misunderstood, or tacitly sanctioned for fear of stoking anti-semitism.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
... it's broadly understandable, too, which makes One of Us a bridge into empathy even for the outsider.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
This is complex and often explosive subject matter, and in examining it, the excellent team of Ewing and Grady tread as carefully as they can.
AV Club
Josh Modell
It's fascinating, but it feels incomplete.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Yet though none of the subjects, connected to different degrees to the Satmar sect, regrets leaving and joining the wider world, their after stories as well as their before ones touch on loneliness, insecurity and even trauma.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
As a documentary, "One of Us" is a small act of portraiture, but each portrait captures the pain of having a life upended.
Village Voice
Lara Zarum
The film is a nuanced and moving illustration of the dilemma facing doubting members of the growing Hasidic community in New York City, home to the world's largest population of Jews outside of Israel.
Slant Magazine
Christopher Gray
It's incisive in its condemnation of the oppression innate in the social structure of Brooklyn's Hasidic communities.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Following three former Hasidim over a fraught and eventful three-year period, Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady have made their most powerful and complex film.
TheWrap
Sam Fragoso
First and foremost a heart-wrenching account of three lives, lost and scared and searching for repair.
