Yesterday was Danny Boyle on an average day

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2019)

Yesterday certainly has that Danny Boyle style to it, but is the actual movie any good? Well, it's a mixed bag I'd say. The concept of being the only guy who remembers The Beatles and using that information to gain fame and success is great, but the movie just runs dry of what to do with its feature length running time and falls into predictable cliches and character moments that you see coming a mile away. It didn't feel like they knew exactly what to do with the concept and just went with a safe predictable path on how to conclude it all.
There's quite a bit of funny humour here and there and good use of music and shots thanks to Danny Boyle. I found some characters mildly irritating in
places and there were also alot of scenes in this movie that seemed like filler. It felt pretty long and probably could have been 30 minutes shorter easily. On a more positive note, the acting is very solid and there's definitely a unique British charm to the whole thing that makes it stand out from other mainstream movies. It's just a shame the story gets progressively worse as it goes along. Overall, I'd say Yesterday is still worth a watch, even if it might only seem average at best.
6/10
