The Only One Movie Review

The Only One provides a compassionate look at a marital breakup, seen from the husband's point of view. Nikolai and Tanya are an attractive, deeply in love, dream-filled couple, who divorce and go their separate ways after a misunderstanding. Still, there is a bond between them that their different directions cannot dissolve. Josef Heifetz treats this familiar situation with deep understanding and sharply rendered knowledge of the forces that link the lovers to each other. The performances by the three leading players here are well worth seeing.
