Echoing the title of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney’s most acclaimed solo work in the wake of his former band’s breakup, Man on the Run, the new documentary from Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?) channels the themes of that song and so many of Sir Paul’s early solo work. “Band on […]
In Backbeat, Iain Softley gives us an effective, affectionate portrait of The Beatles in Hamburg, Germany before they became the most famous rock group in the world. The main focus of the film is the triangle between best friends John Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe, and Stu’s paramour, Astrid Kirchherr. The story starts with Lennon (Ian Hart) […]
Brush off the eye-rolling salt and you will find beaming smiles of sugar.
It takes quite a unique movie, dare I say even a special one, to take an absolutely preposterous concept and make it wholeheartedly joyful with extra whimsy. That is Yesterday combining Academy Award winner director Danny Boyle with all-star romantic comedy writer Richard Curtis. Know ahead that it is pure farce and fantasy, right there with something […]
Picture this: you wake up the morning after a weird electrical event knocks out power in your corner of the world and causes a serious accident that has landed you in hospital. You survive, not entirely unscathed, but—happy to be alive-–you pick up a guitar and begin strumming your favourite song; an old standard, one […]
Once upon a time…or maybe twice…The Beatles were going to make a Lord of the Rings film adaptation. Paul and Ringo were set to play the lovable hobbits, Frodo and Sam; George would play wise wizard Gandalf; John wanted to play scheming Gollum. Stanley Kubrick was even set to direct. But J.R.R. Tolkein said no, and the film, […]

The acclaimed Indian director Satyajit Ray may be deservedly best known for his debut film, 1955’s sweet slice-of-life bildungsroman Pather Panchali, its having won eleven international prizes, including the inaugural Best Human Document award at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival and led to the equally delightful and wise sequels forming the Apu Trilogy, 1956’s Aparajito […]
A few times a decade, the stars align and cinematic forces collide to create art and entertainment that reflects the current times. In 2010, this happened with the release of The Social Network. Upon reflection 15 years later, the David Fincher drama still pierces the zeitgeist of cinematic culture, both upon its 2010 release and in […]
The James Bond franchise really does have ‘No Time to Die’, with old fans celebrating the rich history of its twenty-five film canon (twenty-seven with its two non-Eon films) and six Bonds (Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig), while new fans, after all this time, still find the […]

Fans of John Lennon and cinema have certainly had a lot to celebrate in 2025, with not just one but two new documentaries.
