LOVEFiLM Review Nowhere Boy

  • 4 stars out of 5  

    By Tegan Kniveton from LOVEFiLM

    In some way or another, we all know about John Lennon, but this biopic of his early years growing up in 50s Liverpool may prove especially revealing.

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I was lucky enough to go to the Preview at BAFTA a while ago, and also got to be an extra in the film. I figured I knew all about the Beatles, but this is the kind of film you can watch as an avid Beatles fan, or as a story in its own right. The acting is fantastic and very believable. You easily find yourself caught up in the characters different perspectives and emotions, and the film is great at making you see things from each person's perspective. Its also a great insight into an era. Brilliantly filmed, great storytelling, and fantastic cast. great film, one which makes you proud to be British.

    Early John Lennon life and how he was abandoned by his mother and brought up by his Aunt. set in 1950s Liverpool. Watchable good drama. Title is a play on the Beatles track Nowhere man.

    This film was absolutely brilliant. Engaging, captivating, and thoroughly fantastic. Brilliant acting by Aaron and Kristin Scott Thomas. Well done Sam Taylor Wood for a wonderful insight into John Lennon's beginnings. The guitars, the imagery, the music - just fab!

    Another Channel 4 winner.

    Excellently acted, a good storyline and a very interesting insight into the early years of John Lennon.

    Some real tear-jerker moments throughout.

    Couldn't fault it and thoroughly enjoyed it.
