Review of Nowhere Boy (2009) by George W — 11 Feb 2015
Thus begins the canonisation of the Blessed St. John of Lennon.
Its a "Mom" movie made to pad out the afternoon TV schedule. A by the numbers sycophantic bus tour of Lennon's early life.
That which made John Lennon in any way remarkable was his relationship with Paul McCartney and the music it produced. That complex and turbulent relationship is glossed over in favour of "A boy's best friend is his Mum and Aunty" gender politics slant.
"Roll up, Roll up, get your misty eyed chocolate flavoured pop corn here".
