One Day review: Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod are wonderful in this unmissable tale of love and longing..
Its so easy to get it wrong, and I'm certainly not alone in spotting trouble in the first five minutes of whether a pair works or not..
The new adaptation uses the format of web series to inject much-needed life into this story of the central 'will-they-won't-they' relationship that spans out between Dexter (Leo Woodall) and Emma (Ambika Mod) for the course of two decades..
Our heart breaks when Dexter has a particularly horrible day at home with his dying mom (Essie Davis, in a wonderful performance), and feels all the frustration when Emma tells Dexter that she had a crush on him years later..
One Day is marvelously attuned to these moments of standalone beauty and feeling- of Dexter arriving at the train station to call Emma..
