Review of The One I Love (2014) by Christopher H — 16 Nov 2014
No one is pulling off independent science fiction better than Mark Duplass. In 2012, Duplass starred in "Safety Not Guaranteed," a psychological sci-fi that played more on relationships rather than the time travel element that made it unique.
This year, he stars in "The One I Love," opposite Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men") as a couple that heads off to a retreat at a secluded cottage, where they stumble across some unexplainable phenomenon going on in the guest house.
Without a doubt one of the most original films this year, "The One I Love" never goes in the direction you think it will. Using the character's emotions of jealousy and desire to mask what is really happening to them, the filmmakers are able to bury their secrets and reveal them at the most opportune moments.
Even the ambiguous ending is expertly placed and thought-provokingly vague enough to cause the audience to mull over what just happened long after the credits roll.
