Yesterday
Yesterday, everyone knew The Beatles. Today, only Jack remembers their songs. He's about to become a very big deal. From Academy Award®-winning director DANNY BOYLE (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) and RICHARD CURTIS, the Oscar®-nominated screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually and Notting Hill, comes a rock 'n' roll comedy about music, dreams, friendship, and the long and winding road that leads to the love of your life.
Jack Malik (HIMESH PATEL, BBC's EastEnders) is a struggling singer-songwriter in a tiny English seaside town whose dreams of fame are rapidly fading, despite the fierce devotion and support of his childhood best friend, Ellie (LILY JAMES, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again). Then, after a freak bus accident during a mysterious global blackout, Jack wakes up to discover that The Beatles have never existed...and he finds himself with a very complicated problem indeed.
Performing songs by the greatest band in history to a world that has never heard them, and with a little help from his steel-hearted American agent, Debra (Emmy Award winner KATE MCKINNON, TV's Saturday Night Live), and his kind-but-wildly-unreliable roadie Rocky (JOEL FRY, HBO's Game of Thrones), Jack's fame explodes. But as his star rises, he risks losing Ellie-the one person who always believed in him. With the door between his old and new life closing, Jack will need to get back to where he once belonged and prove that all you need is love.

A Pleasant Confection
This film is a bit like a chocolate coated cake, pleasant to eat, goes down easily and only afterwards when you think about it do doubts emerge. The film moves along at an exciting pace, it pushes all the emotional buttons and the roles (both lead and support) are acted well and I'd happily choose other films they have been or will be in. But; the moment the credits roll and its hard to avoid the thought that you'd just been played by a couple of old guys trying to appear 'Woke'. Avoiding spoilers, basically the male lead character becomes the 'bad guy' and must transform himself whereas the female lead character is left prisitne by the script, whereas a moments reflection will suggest something entirely different. Do give the film a shot but don't expect anything of substance.
