Filmmakers discuss the burden of genius and issues of fatherhood and fame, while covering a period of John Lennon's wildly fluctuating fortunes from 1967-71. The profile also reveals the impact of re-establishing contact with his long-lost father and events that led John to shed everything personal and creative, including being part of the Beatles.

Do we really need to see that much of Lennon naked?

Rated: 2/5

There is something disembodied about this attempt to exploit the name, fame and commercial fruit of the iconic bad-boy songwriter.

You know, despite the poor reviews, I thought this was an overall good film. Eccleston does not look like Lennon at all but I think he portrays' Lennon's personality well enough. Usually in pop media, we get the brilliant side shown of Lennon, which is obviously a half-truth. And so, I thought this film really showed that Lennon was just like any of us, someone with emotional baggage but the confidence and extrovertedness to express that to others through music. I do think that this film has some downsides though: Paul McCartney is kind of a bumbling idiot and we don't get enough time to see Lennon's songwriting talent. The conclusion could have been handled better considering that Lennon did reconcile with his father later on. I recommend this film, although probably not for kids (both for the long plot and some nudity). Underrated film.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Brilliant acting. An excellent script. A brilliant theme and definitely is probably best biographical film about John Lennon.

Fantastic performances from the main cast, however, unless you're a huge Lennon fan or very interested in his life, it's not the film for you.

I know several people who have expressed disdain for Lennon. This movie gives some good examples for why not everyone loved him.
