Reviews & comments
Variety
pressIn "Yesterday," a world without the Beatles doesn't look any different, so there's little potency to the film's fantasy of the Beatles coming back.
The Guardian
pressAlthough this film can be a bit hokey and uncertain on narrative development, the puppyish zest and fun summoned up by Curtis and Boyle carry it along.
Stuff
pressIn the end, Yesterday does what it sets out to do, prove that a world without The Beatles would be infinitely worse.
Independent
pressThe result is a pleasant but flimsy romantic comedy, ultimately undermined by its own wafer-thin premise.
Hollywood Reporter
pressCrowd-pleasing and sometimes enjoyable, but pretty damned dumb when you stop to think about it.
Empire Magazine
pressA glowing tribute to The Beatles and their music, this is both a toe-tapping pleasure to watch and a smart, occasionally scathing look at how we get things wrong.
