Pretty dire

Rating: 3/10 (23 October 2019)

Yesterday tells the story of a world that suddenly loses all knowledge of the music of the Beatles. The exception to this is Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) who is a struggling musician who appeals to few people beyond his manager/groupie friend Ellie Appleton (Lily James). All of a sudden he is the only person who knows the back catalog of The Beatles. The film examines how he deals with this, but is mostly a rom/com.
The film is pleasant enough, but it's too stupid to really enjoy. To be fair I did hear someone say it was one of their films of the year, so maybe I'm just a little too old and cold to appreciate it's charms.
