A powerful film

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2008)

'Across the Universe' is a powerful musical in which all songs are by The Beatles. Excellent singing and creative, artistic choreography and costume design make this movie definitely worth watching. 'Come Together', 'I Want to Hold Your Hand', and the wonderful yet tear-jerking 'Let it Be' are just a few of the memorable songs. 'Across the Universe' is about an illegal British immigrant (Jude) from Liverpool (hmmmm...) who comes to America in search of his father. Jude makes friends at a prestigious college, and falls in love with one of his friends sister. Jude moves to New York City where many loose ends from random musical numbers are tied up. You'll have to see the movie to find out what happens in the end.
Rating: PG-13 for some drug content, nudity, sexuality, violence, and language. (CAN) 14A violence, nudity, language.
