Gave my family a lot to talk about

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2019)

In my household, we have two adults, a teenager, and a third-grader. We don't often all like the same movie, and when we do, it's usually a superhero movie. We all liked Yesterday, and it gave us a lot to talk about all weekend. The story was great, the plot just the right mix of "what you know will happen because you saw the trailer" and "totally unexpected but makes a lot of sense!"
Patel, James, and Fry (the actors I wasn't already familiar with) were great as regular people dealing with huge events. Ed Sheeran and Kate McKinnon were both fabulous as people already in the industry, in their own ways.
The large and small inside jokes were completely satisfying. I recommend this movie to all, except those who not only dislike the Beatles' music (I like it OK), but also despise the Beatles as a historical popular phenomenon and wish they and their legacy *would* be expunged from history. Actually, even those people might enjoy this movie. What if?
