One Night Only film stars Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner

The romantic comedy ‘One Night Only’, directed by Will Gluck, features Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner as two strangers navigating a satirical, slightly dystopian version of New York City.

In this setting, a legal mandate restricts sexual activity between unmarried individuals to a single night per year. The film follows Allie, a romantic singer, and Owen, a man recently left by his partner, as they encounter one another during this chaotic annual window. While the city descends into a frenzy, the two protagonists find themselves developing a sincere connection that transcends the pursuit of casual encounters.

Critics have noted the film’s chemistry between the leads and its subversion of traditional romantic comedy tropes, though some reviews suggest the narrative development can feel sudden. The production includes a supporting cast featuring Maya Hawke, Molly Ringwald, and LeVar Burton.
