Simple Premise Done Right

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2019)

My first reaction when I heard the premise of this movie was that it was going to be a stupid pandering flick to get the pocket money of the tragically hip who don't really remember but think they do.
I went through the 60s, on the youngish side, and was NOT an immediate fan of the Beatles.
But this movie was well written, well cast, and offers great entertainment while making some pointy points. It is good natured and a trifle daring, towards the end.
I was surprised at how well hooked I was, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
The cast was excellent. Patel has an expressive face, Lily James is sweet and endearing. I like Kate McKinnon but I think her character was either under utilized or unnecessary to the overall scheme of things. Ed Sheeran played an interesting supporting character quite well.
I recognized Sanjeev from television series "Unforgotten". He is excellent in everything I've seen him in. Here he contributes to the domestic believability of the main characters and appropriately humorous.
