Read HoBin's review of Yesterday.
Yesterday, everyone knew The Beatles. Today, only Jack remembers their songs. He's about to become a very big deal. From Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) and Richard Curtis, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually and Notting Hill, comes a rock-n-roll comedy about music, dreams, friendship, and the long and winding road that leads to the love of your life.
Yesterday is in theaters on June 28th, 2019.
Yesterday is a movie that is directed by Danny Boyle and screenplay by Richard Curtis (About
Time, Love Actually). Yesterday is a romantic comedy movie with an
interesting idea that, what if there was no Beatles and their music in this world, but you are
the only one who remembered them and their music. Main character Jack Malik, played by
Himesh Patel shows a great performance in this movie. All those emotional
fluctuation/express that character in the movie performed very well and sympathetic.
Other than Himesh Patel, Lily James, Joel Fry, and other cast also did their job. Especially
Joel Fry’s character Rocky seemed one of those characters (from Richard Curtis’s previous
film Notting Hill character Spike played by Rhys Ifans) who carries lots of jokes, and humor
and I liked it. But honestly, I am little disappointed with this movie.
I mean this is decent romantic comedy movie, and if you expected fast pace lovely, simple
romantic comedy, you will like it. But I was expecting something different from this movie.
I thought this movie will be more like music oriented movie like “Begin Again”. I was
expecting to listen more Beatles music. Like Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocket Man, or Begin
Again, I was expecting to get more Beatles Music from this film, but Beatles and their
beloved songs were only little hint/spice in this movie. If you expect to get more Beatles
and their song, you may disappoint. This movie does not contain satisfactory musical
sequences like other three movies that I mentioned earlier.
Again, this is decent romantic comedy film that you can enjoy, but if you expected more
music oriented film (like Begin Again), you will disappoint. Depends on your expectation on
this movie, you will like or not.
Rating: 3 out of 5
