Nowhere Boy

For any massive fans of The Beatles then this is a must-see. The filmmakers also manage to carefully and effectively replicate the lates 50s and early 60s era in great attention to detail.

A film of image over substance, something Lennon himself spent a lifetime rejecting. The film not only ignore that, it betrays it.

The film has very few historical flaws and is a raw portrayal of John Lennon's adolescence, which adds to the flavour and makes one wish they could discover The Beatles for the first time, all over again.

There's an effective timelapse montage that shows Lennon's growing musical confidence while under his mother's tutelage, framed by the ever-changing furnishings of her house.
