Meet Brian Epstein, a man who lived a thousand lives in a few short years, a visionary who transformed music history. From running a Liverpool record store to shaping the sound of a generation, Epstein's journey is a rollercoaster of ambition, passion, and relentless pursuit of greatness. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd stars as the mastermind behind The Beatles' meteoric rise, navigating a whirlwind of unprecedented fame, cultural revolution, and personal demons. But behind the glitz and glamour lies a man seeking acceptance and love in a world not ready. Midas Man peels back the curtain on the swinging '60s, revealing the triumphs, heartbreaks, and secrets of the man who changed the face of music forever. Step into Brian's world, where every touch turns to gold, but the most precious treasure remains just out of reach.

It ultimately does a disservice to both Epstein the manager and Epstein the man

Radio Times

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd stars as the Beatles' late manager Brian Epstein in this solid biopic that might have been more satisfying if less screen time was devoted to the group itself

Rated: 3/5

Midas Man fumbles a golden opportunity to tell us what we don't know about the tragically short life of Beatles manager Brian Epstein.

Grant Watson

Fiction Machine

The energy of Midas Man makes it enjoyable, and the screenplay’s treatment of Epstein’s life makes it frustrating.

Rated: 6/10

A solid biopic laced with the Beatles’ snarky signature humour...The film does well recreating the energy of the early 1960s, and hardcore Beatles fans will no doubt swoon at the recreation of Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club.

Rated: 3/5

Leigh Paatsch

Herald Sun (Australia)

This cheap and (mostly) cheerful biopic of the late Beatles manager Brian Epstein is a fun exercise in nostalgia, where the vibe is consistently toe-tapping and rarely thought-provoking.

Rated: 3/5
