Review of The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) by Wadet. — 19 Oct 2006
The U.S. vs John Lennon suffers from what makes it enjoyable, which is the unabashed love the filmmakers have for John Lennon. Lennon is portrayed as a heroic figure who was beyond his time considering his political affiliations.
While that makes the storytelling upbeat, it also makes the story very one sided. The alternative view on Lennon isn't really provided nor are his affiliations really explored for their full context.
The shame is there appears to be more meat to the John Lennon story then the filmmakers had the courage to go after. It ends being an enjoyable film that somehow seems disappointing.
