Nowhere Boy (2009)
7/10
My favourite Beatles film
17 May 2010
Nowhere Boy, a biopic of John Lennon's teenage year and the forming of The Quarrymen, the original Beatles, was a pleasant surprise for me, I expected a slightly slow mediocre film and it was an engaging, gloriously acted film.

Aaron Johnson plays the lead superbly, with the kind of talent that will see him become a star before not too long. I found the relationship with his estranged mother, the woman who introduced him to rock 'n' roll music, slightly uncomfortable as there is a strong undertone of sexual attraction between them.

The music is great and I found the introduction of the young Paul McCartney and George Harrison a nice touch.

All round a very enjoyably paced movie that kept me well entertained all the way through.
