watermelonjooce’s review published on Letterboxd:
took my dad to see this in the small art house theater a bit outside of my hometown that we used to go to when I was in high school.
he’s the biggest Beatles fan I’ve ever met (specifically a John guy), and I’m a huge Beatles (and music) fan because of him. so it’s impossible for me not to be emotionally invested in and overly sentimental with anything Beatles-adjacent.
regardless… I found this to be wonderful and informative. especially given the parallels in the political context of the 70s with today, just days away from an election that will likely change the course of this country, for better or worse.
some really great performances from a variety of artists. and some incredible guests.
also just cannot get over how effortlessly cool and undeniably punk rock Yoko is. one of one.
and chuck berry might actually be the coolest person who has ever lived.
anyways, this was a very special and emotional experience for me. highly recommend seeing the film.
