Magnolia Pictures has unveiled the official trailer and poster for their upcoming music documentary ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO, which will launch in US IMAX theaters on April 11th, 2025, before expanding to non-IMAX theaters on April 18th, 2025. The film world premiered at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival.
One to One: John & Yoko is directed by Kevin Macdonald and features John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Andy Warhol.
On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles, the One to One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden. Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald’s documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore eighteen defining months in the lives of John and Yoko.
By 1971 the couple was newly arrived in the United States— living in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village and watching a huge amount of American television. The film uses a mélange of American TV to conjure the era through what the two would have been seeing on the screen: the Vietnam War, The Price is Right, Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, Cronkite, The Waltons.
As they experience a year of love and transformation in the US, John and Yoko begin to change their approach to protest — ultimately leading to the One to One concert, which was inspired by a Geraldo Rivera exposé they watched on TV. Filmed in a meticulously faithful reproduction of the NYC apartment the duo shared, the documentary offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two of history’s most influential artists.
We’ve added the release date to our in theaters calendar. Check out the new official trailer and poster below.
