Review of Yesterday (2019) by Jluis_001 — 10 Jul 2019
First of all I have to get something out of my chest and it's for the producers and writer of this film: **** you!!!
And that's because they thought they could do a simple romantic comedy with the Beatles music and they were going to get away with it.
This film was written by Richard Curtis and if anyone had told me that he also directed it, I would never have doubted it. That should give you a little idea of where the **** Danny Boyle went with this story.
He was going to direct the new James Bond film and instead he ended up delivering this.
There's no surprise or revelation in this film. It's a simplistic romantic comedy that doesn't propose anything new nor it tries to do it.
The story and the characters are not endearing in any way and maybe the best time of it and probably one that will save it beyond the Beatles music is the scene with Robert Carlyle playing John Lennon (Hey, they managed to make Yoko Ono disappear).
Beyond that there isn't much more to say.
If new generations discover the Beatles with this film, well that's fine, all the better for it.
