"Nowhere Boy" is an enjoyable, interesting, and quite moving glance at John Lennon's formative years, and a showcase for a great performance by Aaron Johnson, who perfectly captures Lennon's vulnerability and burgeoning rebellious spirit.

Similarly, Anne-Marie Duff and Kristin Scott Thomas are fantastic in their respective roles as John's estranged mother and his aunt/guardian. Perhaps most importantly of all, this is accessible for the most casual fan of John Lennon and the Beatles - though some fans may be a little frustrated at the lack of insight into Lennon's music.
