Yesterday review

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2020)

A good idea suffers from writer Richard Curtis's tendency to warm over old formulas, and is saddled with a romantic sub-plot that feels completely surplus to requirements. Himesh Patel is flawless as the struggling singer-songwriter who inexplicably finds himself living in a world in which The Beatles never existed, whereas Kate McKimmon is terrible in a poorly written role that belongs in an entirely different movie. Needless to say, the music is great.
