The Other Day

Rating: 7/10 (22 March 2020)

This was a wonderfully charming movie. A real love letter to the Beatles and, at the same time, a very sweet love story. It's well acted, it's funny.
It also makes zero sense. Something happens and suddenly there's no Beatles, no Coca-Cola, no cigarettes and no explanations whatsoever. Now, not everything needs to be spelled out in movies but literally nothing is explained at all here and it's the central conceit of the movie. There's also this idea that suddenly injecting the Beatles into the modern climate would springboard someone from wannabe to music's Jesus, which I just don't think is realistic.
What we're left with is a fun, charming movie... That doesn't even try to make any sense. It's definitely enjoyable, it feels like there could have been something more though. Definitely a recommend though if you can catch it streaming somewhere.
