Film review: One Life is a film that will only fail to move those with hearts of granite

Anthony Hopkins is superbly cast as the gruff but humble humanitarian riven by a lifelong guilt for the children that were not saved

One Life is as important as it is powerful

★★★★★

“You have to let go, for your own sake,” Grete Winton (Lena Olin) urges her husband Nicholas (Anthony Hopkins) as One Life (12A) opens in suburban England in 1987, for Nicholas, who spends his retirement as a charity activist, is a compulsive hoarder of cardboard files, memories and guilt.
