What is a summary of the movie The One?

Answer 1

Coming-of-age fantasy "One and Two" is the kind of adolescent power trip that only really works if the adult antagonists are done just right. "Antagonists" may seem too strong a word, but that's essentially the role that parents play in these types of films. In "One and Two," you have to believe that there's a vicious or at least threatening presence that keeps siblings Zac (Timothee Chalamet) and Eva (Kiernan Shipka, better known as Sally Draper on "Mad Men") intrigued, but fearful of finding out what lies outside their country home's borders. High walls that are supposed to, in Eva's words, "keep other people out," are also a geographical representation of over-protective parenting gone wrong. Still, despite its romantic, Southern Gothic-style landscape Photography, "One and Two" never feels as momentous or as angsty as a good story about moody teenagers should, and that's mostly because the film lacks a menacing parental adversary.
