It got me in the end.

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2020)

I felt mostly "meh" about this movie until the John Lennon scene. I grew up with the Beatles - I was around 7 when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan - and when Lennon appeared (what a resemblance!) fine and an old man, I started tearing up. That scene was when I warmed up to the movie and I continued until the closing credits with "Hey, Jude" playing. I've thought before how tragic it would have been for the world never to have had John, Paul, George, and Ringo, and this film reaffirmed that.
The scene with Ellie demanding Jack choose between her and his music career a) seemed out of character and b) made me not like her for a bit. Lily James, though, was wonderful as always. On subsequent viewing, I loved the movie and really liked the actor in the lead role.
