How can the whole premise be on no one can find out shes a woman yet she keeps her 18" beautiful long hair, manicured eye brows.. give me a break.

No matter how much dirt you put on Freda Pinto's face she still looks like a woman. Why in the he77 would she need to go out in public? Has the writer ever heard of TO GO or Takeout? It's no reason she should ever leave the car to sit down to eat. Masters of Horror and the book did this so better with The Screw Fly solution.

Decent story, but she ruined the movie. Not cutting her hair, wearing makeup, lashes and Trimmed eyebrows really didn't make sense. She's not a big name, so I don't understand getting a lesser know actress that would commit to the role.

I see a lot of negative reviews for Only, a lot stating the woman should have cut her hair and so on. I get it that that wasn't the smartest move but it was also nothing to have a fit about like I read on here, it's not real, it's just a movie. What bothers me the most is the lack of information about some things. What happened? How did it happen? Little things that could have been explained in a minute and that would have benefit the quality of the story. The acting wasn't bad. Both leading characters played by Freida Pinto and Leslie Odom Jr. were convincing in their roles. As for the cinematography it wasn't bad either. I thought Only was entertaining. Could it have been better? For sure but it doesn't deserve those extremely negative reviews.

This story had a lot of potential. But when you have only 2 main characters on screen for 90% of the film, those characters should be really good and likable, or at least be interesting to watch. These were neither. They had zero chemistry together, and mostly scowled at each other and at the camera. I would have liked to see more in this world than these two characters.

Also the plot jumping back and forth in time was a little confusing.

Clearly the current only reviewer 'gerard_schmidt' is a wannabe critic that probably only saw the trailer, and even with that, this film is certainly not a 1/10 smh.

Now this little gem of a film; This is novice writer and director Takashi Doscher's third full length feature film, and I have to say, he nailed it, especially considering this is a low-budget B-grade indie film.

This was a true romantic psychological moral drama apocalyptic sci-fi thriller that actually combined those genres better than I would've ever expected. I'm not a fan of back and forth timelines, but Doscher's timelines worked exceptionally well, especially with the perfect cinematography and distinct color choices for each timeline by cinematographer Sean Stiegemeier. Doscher's directing was spectacular, in that every scene transitioned perfectly, even with the back and forth timelines. The score and sound were on point and very fitting in maintaining that constant level of suspense. Leslie Odom Jr. and Freida Pinto's character chemistry and intimacy was convincing, and their performances outstanding - especially Pinto's break-down scene that was award-worthy. My only critique would be the slow pacing. I know it had a lot to do with maintaining the tension and suspense, but maybe cutting down/out some scenes, and/or pick up the pace in many of them, the 98 min runtime would've flew by.

I get this film wont be for everybody, but if you're a fan of apocalyptic films with romance that actually works well, then you will enjoy this. If your gal wants to see a chick-flick and you a sci-fi, this film is perfect for both. But if you're expecting a big budget Hollywood blockbuster from seasoned actors and filmmakers like Mad Max or Oblivion, you may be disappointed. But nevertheless, this is a well put together and entertaining film - especially considering it's a low-budget B-grade indie film, put together by a novice filmmaker. Mad props to Takashi Doscher for this little gem, and it's a well deserved 9/10 from me.

This is a decent flick about the two different people's response to a devastating pandemic. Similar to the Covid outbreak, each person may be able to confront or not confront the seriousness of what's happening. One character has a logical response to it and does every little thing that needs to be done for safety. Others here have said that to he second character is whiney and selfish, but those are just symptoms of someone who can't really accept what's happening or face it logically and get with the program. It's a mental fitness sort of thing - how much harsh reality can each individual face. In a pandemic, those who can face a harsh reality have the best chance of surviving.

This is no blockbuster, with numerous large dramatic scenes of many humans dying. It's a character study of two people equally in pain, trying to do what they think they need to. One is concerned for their physical survival, the other for their emotional survival.

In our own Covid pandemic, some people wear masks, socially distance, and disinfect. Others are more concerned about keeping their same routine as before instead, to keep life seeming " normal".

The settings are believeable, and like in life, most of the "bad guys" we see are not one dimensional, and do have some degree of compassion for others.

If you expect an action flick or gory zombie flick, this is not it. It's a couple of individuals who care for each other trying each to survive in whatever manner they see as "best".

Great possible premise, but they blew it. Its been done better by better and this was a waste of time. Predictably dull. I hated the female lead but she didnt write it. She does nothing but childlike mistakes while the main man does so much to secure her. Its simple things that others mentioned that show how little things add up to a big heave of....who cares. Better luck next time. There's a word for the hatred of men..it's...man-hating! And I'm a girl! Misandry! THAT'S IT! There's ONLY 1 good guy and even he's totally abused for keeping them alive. It helps to notice that first blood test because 70% of the film is flashback stuff..maybe only by days but still. Ive seen worse AND it was like this. Walking Dead's Chandler Riggs was MY personal highlight. Oh & shows the logo for Tribeca film festival but not ut winning anything. Like me having some Facebbok page showing logos for Miss Universe.... I hate picking on independent films but I guess it had great locations & visuals. It didnt really need to make alot of panicked hoarding citizens slowly going fera scenesl, which is likely why they didnt to even show it.

Sad. If a female wants to evade being identified as a female ... Number ONE .. CUT YOUR HAIR .... Number two ... NO MASCARA!!!

The plot is interesting. The actors are strong. Even the cinematography is acceptable.

That said, the main characters are just so incredibly dislikable. They are reckless, they aren't careful, and they will just keep frustrating you to no end. It gets to the point where you just really don't care about the characters at all anymore.

The story is really slow, and little happens. Even given the fact that this film is very relevant to the Coronavirus outbreak at the moment, there is still little to engage or interest the viewers. It lacks intensity, suspense and engagement.

This story is told not chronologically, which I don't understand because it really did not add anything to the story it just made it more confusing. It was slow and boring, and no point do you feel anything for the characters, it's just melodramatic.

It's just a waste of time.

It had problems with the plot and consistency but I enjoyed it. Don't expect a masterpiece.

A virus that affects only women, so of course men being the toxic, awful, evil individuals that they are go ahunting the girls ..... give me a break, the story of one woman taking on the whole of mankind. It could have worked if ONLY Eva had a little more sense, but she is utterly unbearable.

Why does she go to all that effort to use a wrap to flatten her chest, and yet she has hair that could be used in a Head and Shoulders advert, Eva is very beautiful, but would stand out a mile away.

A world where all all men are evil and predatory, it's 2020, can someone please change the record.

There was some potential here, but the realisation is terrible, 2/10.

Why wouldn't a woman cut their hair in this situation? If your life is in jeopardy and the man that you love is doing everything in their power to protect you... You can cut your hair! Something that grows back. And let your eyebrows grow out. It was like he was dating a teenager.

We didn't ask her to cut off her breast... They could've showed us how beautiful she was the first 20-30?minutes of the movie with the long hair... And we would've been so intrigued when she cut it off!

Worst film ever. Good idea for scenario, but bad interpretation, boring.
