Only You

You will believe. You will be moved. You will not laugh.

[Only You's] a poignant and compelling Venn diagram of passion and heartache.

The beautifully streamlined screenplay is as economical as it is unexpectedly revelatory.

Only You, the feature debut of TV screenwriter Harry Wootliff, is that rare effort that could go toe-to-toe with its American counterpart, a passionate, moving love story told with nuance and heart.

In its unflinching and sustained examination of a very personal issue, Only You stumbles on some universal truths about human relationships.

A terrifically engrossing drama about two wholly believable characters, made with the kind of wit, honesty and raw emotional intimacy that pierces right to the heart of their relationship.

The result overcomes a rather threadbare narrative in the late stretch to offer a distinct and grown-up love story, with its tough and tender elements held in fine balance.

The end result is a film that is quietly profound and full of intimacy, just beautiful.

Both O'Connor and Costa do what they can with the material but it isn't enough to give credibility to their story.

Only You achieves the astonishing feat of making one couple's specific story become a universal tale of struggle, jealousy and grief.
