#Latest news with #SamRice-EdwardsWashington Post10-04-2025EntertainmentWashington PostDocumenting a difficult year in the life of a Beatle and his wifeIt takes nerve to make a documentary about the most unpopular period of a massively popular public figure's life. 'One to One: John & Yoko' demonstrates that it's worth the effort. Co-directors Kevin Macdonald ('The Last King of Scotland') and Sam Rice-Edwards have done an impressively deep archival dive to give us this portrait of John Lennon in 1972, the year the ex-Beatle arrived in New York City to stay and embarked on a period of radical politics and art. It was an era of upheaval in American society and a time when Lennon tried to leverage his celebrity to effect change, in ways that made him look simultaneously sincere, committed and naive.
