Review of Across the Universe (2007) by Jose Luis M — 08 Jan 2015
The idea of a film telling its love story primarily through Beatles songs is great. An d while some versions of the classic tunes work better than others, the same goes for their according scenes. Overall, the film tries a little too hard, especially the political commentary of the late 60s is unnecessary and forced.
A shorter, much more focus movie would have worked so much better. That doesn't change the fact that some, not all, of the music sequences are magical.
