More Beatles, less predictable romance

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2019)

I really loved the concept of this film. It is terrifically original and ripe for exploration. What disappointed me was how little the film actually spends delving into a world without the Beatles. Instead, we mostly get a cliched romance story about childhood friends. There still is a lot of enjoyment to find in Yesterday though. The music is great, as expected, and the humor around missing elements of the world is always humorous. I only wish the filmmakers spent more time on the band themselves.
