Exactly what I expected

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2019)

When I first saw the trailer for this film, I knew exactly what I was going to get: an enjoyable feel good movie reminiscent of the most influential music group of all time. It gives off a vibe similar to that of many Beatles songs, and in that aspect, it succeeds by all means. But when you tie in side characters and subplots that cloud the overall message of the film it seems a bit congested. What could have been a reflective example of the challenges of fame and fortune was sorely diluted by a forced love story and Margo Robbie's money eyes. It is hard not to like Yesterday having grown up on the music of the Beatles, but the potential originality of the film was not fully lived up to.
