Interesting concept

Rating: 6/10 (24 September 2019)

I was a little shocked to see Boyle's name attached as director as this is certainly out of his normal comfort zone. On paper a Richard Curtis script with Danny Boyle as the filmmaker, would feel like a slam-dunk, but this is not the case. The film creeps into melodrama and it struggles to maintain that comedy and drama combination it strives to balance. Much like About Time, this might have been better with a few story beats removed or amended. Interesting idea and clearly a love letter to The Beatles, I just wish I could've enjoyed this more.
