    Prophetic. Dramatic. I'm now wide awake

    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.

    Conspiracy

    In Holland it is not on Prime or Netflix and there doesn't seem to be a DVD either , am I not allowed to se it ?

    Only if you're down the rabbit hole

    You can view this movie on BrandNewTube as I did.

    Ok, the bad stuff first. It's equivalent to a film student movie. Everything let's it down and if it wasn't for its core message it'd get a 1 star Review.

    The good stuff is that the theme was scarily prescient for 2014.

    If you were one of the few who experienced a full awakening in the spring of 2020 then you will, as I did, appreciate what the writer and director was attempting to convey.

    Rick Mayall's appearance doesn't make it any better - he must of done this as a favour i reckon as it could not have been a paying gig; however, the fact he died soon after making it has brought some attention to a film that would likely have never been released at all.

    For all the big budget Hollywood conspiracy movies out there - none come as close to this for holding a mirror up to the present moment.

    Thought provoking

    Ok so the acting isn't great BUT i enjoyed it because i love a good conspiracy theory, and given what's happening at the moment it definitely gets you thinking 'what if?'.

    Be warned. If you weren't already aware 2020 is a severe warning.

    Always have been brought up to question everything. I have always been very aware of corruption and how the gov works to get results that serve their sinister agendas, whilst manipulating the masses. But 2020 came. "Waking up" as this film shows the process of, is very much like taking off a pair of rose tinted glasses. Nothing is ever the same once you "see"... your life changes and you change with it. For the better of course. I LOVED this film. Yes its low budget but the message behind it is so important. When I finished watching it I had to sit quietly and think for a while...
