A little wonder of a nature documentary, beautifully filmed and composed. Following a large variety of animals, some well known, some very obscure, through different stages of life: from the care for the offspring to the struggle for food or the search for mates. While we only get short glimpses into their respective lives, what we see and learn still fills us with a sense of wonder, leaving us in awe of the beauty of nature. Thankfully, the narration is limited to the very basic information, never gets preachy or too lyrical. Very well done. Impressive and memorable.
90% For this movie in its own class and genre. Lots of variety in little bits of BBC nature material from all over the world and different types of atmosphere. On cinema screen this is a lot better than on television.
It was a real pity firemen came and told us to leave the building 15 minutes prior to the end.
Four years in the making, this is simply a staggering achievement, with a standard of photography that continues Britain's excellence in the field of wildlife film-making.
This BBC Earth animal-behaviour doco catches the sheer jaw-dropping mentalness of the creature kingdom round the globe.
A typically eye-catching, years-in-the-making chronicle of animal life that is tainted by the urge to anthropomorphize.
Another gorgeously shot document of nature's majesty, this one focusing on the life cycle-and interconnectedness-of all living creatures.
A typical British nature documentary, which is to say, a very good film, and one that mostly balances the "awwws" with the awesome.
As much as Daniel Craig's narration can feel tacked-on, it's really secondary to the film's expert camerawork.
Beautifully shot and featuring some genuinely astonishing footage, this is a thoroughly entertaining documentary that delivers a powerful message.
One Life is a film truly deserving that much-abused adjective of unmissable.
