Quirky and unique storytelling

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2020)

Yesterday was such a random story that honours the history of The Beetles in a clever and thoughtful way. After seeing it get a rather low IMDB score of 6 I was expecting a lot worse. But the humour throughout kept me well interested.
I'd never spent much time admiring the Beetles music, so I too sort of felt like one of the members of the crowd learning the songs for the first time. Its great as you see the lyrics drop into Jack's memory as he struggles to piece them together. As someone who is not a songwriter it was intriguing to see this process played out in such visual ways - taking inspiration from everyday life.
This movie shed important insight into the creative process of artists from grassroots to business management, and shows how sad it is the ways in which companies can completely take over and change the direction/vision of the original artist.
The love interest is another classic of friendzoning and frustrating the audience with back and forward moments where it seems so close. Despite this it comes to a satisfying happily ever after, which is not the worst ending I suppose.
