Yesterday
(2019)Everyone in the world has forgotten about The Beatles. Everyone except Jack...
No-one in the world can remember The Beatles except a struggling musician, who uses this bizarre situation to his advantage in this comedic flight-of-fancy tale directed by Oscar winner Danny Boyle (127 Hours) and from the writer of Love, Actually.

Yesterday
The Press Reviews
A 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. Full Review
Crowd-pleasing and sometimes enjoyable, but pretty damned dumb when you stop to think about it. Full Review
Although 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. Full Review
The result is a pleasant but flimsy romantic comedy, ultimately undermined by its own wafer-thin premise. Full Review
In "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. Full Review
