Only is a 2019 post-apocalyptic romance film, directed by Takaschi Doscher and starring Freida Pinto and Leslie Odom Jr..[1] In the film, a couple, Will and Eva (played by Odom and Pinto), are forced to hide after a disease kills most of the women in the world.[1] The film premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival,[1] and was released in cinemas on 6 March 2020.[2] Only was Doscher's second film, after Still, which he directed in 2018.[3] The film received generally negative reviews from critics, with a 40% score on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes (with 15 reviews in total).[2] One critic praised the film's "somber, reflective screenplay",[4] but others criticised the film, with some describing its portrayal of Will and Eva's relationship as misogynistic.[5] The film has a non-chronological structure, with scenes from earlier in the outbreak interspersed with the main storyline.[4] The plot involves Will attempting to keep Eva safe from the government and bounty hunters, since women have become extremely valuable.[1][4] It has been compared to the comic series Y: The Last Man.[5]
