Although about John Lennon, this musical biopic is not so much about his evolution as a musician as about the two women who formed a large part of his life. His Aunt Mimi, who raised him from early childhood, is superbly played by Kristin Scott-Thomas.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Captivating, heart-rending, moving, splendid; Fantastic film, great soundtrack and excellent cast; I never saw any northern industrial city look as clean in the 1950s and 60s as Liverpool did in this film; Not sure if it was a great film, but it's a great story of great talent; Very derivative. It owes its good bits to real people's pain. But, too predictable.
