Not the best, but certainly enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2019)

Yesterday is the classic film version of too good to be true, but not all is lost in this upbeat concept about a world without The Beatles. Sure, there is a large pacing issue without, which makes the film feel like it is going too fast while at the same time moving too slow. Sure, there is also an issue with the transition between scenes, and editing throughout, but in terms of whether I enjoyed the film, whether I smiled and laughed throughout it, I would still have to say yes. The film has heart, and I would be lying if it also didn't feel inspiring as well. The film has humor, and though some of it doesn't land from its bland and overly harsh portrayals of music business stereotypes, most if it besides that does. All in all, Yesterday is certainly not a perfect film, but it is perfectly enjoyable for anyone that is a fan of The Beatles, or really music in general, or anyone who just wants to have a good time at the movies.
My Rating: 8.25/10
