The music documentary ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO is set to make its SVOD debut next month, arriving on HBO Max on November 14th, 2025, at 8p ET/PT (concurrent with its linear television premiere). The film world premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival before launching in US theaters via Magnolia Pictures on April 11th, 2025. It hit VOD and digital platforms on May 9th, 2025.
One to One: John & Yoko is directed by Kevin MacDonald, and is an inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s.
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, a rollicking, dazzling performance from him and Yoko Ono. 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 faithful reproduction of the NYC apartment the duo shared, One to One: John & Yoko offers a new take on a seminal time in the lives of two of history’s most influential artists.
