A box office disappointment, it's nonetheless one of the best films eligible this year. I'd love to see Anne-Marie Duff mentioned this year for her great performance. Kristin Scott Thomas and Aaron Johnson, as well as the rest of the cast, are a joy to watch.
Good one!
Really enjoyed this movie especialy around his 70 birthday. Learned a lot about John's tragic younger years. Both my friend and I shed tears which says how emotional the movie affected us
Very good emotional tale about his younger years. Aaron Johnson does a great portrayl.
Inspirational, poetic and sad at the same time. Great casting.
It was interesting to learn about Lennon's early life, but it was disappointing that we didn't hear more of the music that made the Beatles popular. I found that I did not like the young John Lennon. It is a relationship movie and would not appeal to someone wanting something a little more exciting.
I would like to rate this movie. But it missed coming to Winnipeg.
Excellent depiction of a little known part of John Lennon's life. Kristin Scott Thomas and Anne Marie Duff were fantastic and Aaron Johnson was very good in a very difficult role. The director, Sam Taylor-Wood, did a marvelous job capturing the time and the emotional turmoil in the main characters lives. Really neat to see how John, Paul and George got together to start the path to music history.
