Jeff Mar 26, 2025 If your a Beatles Fan or have been to Liverpool this is a must see about the life of Brian Epstein (he has a large statue thre).

First, the good: got a lot of little details right - locations, look and feel of the era, the faces/hair/clothes of the Beatles and other characters. Accents are spot-on, sets and period details are great. Good facial resemblances for the Beatles, Cilla Black, Gerry Marsden, Billy J Kramer, etc. Eddie Izzard as Allan Willams was good. Not-so good: Jay Leno as Ed Sullivan was a head scratcher. As they pan around, Jay's chin comes into frame before anything else. Strange to see the height difference between Jonah Lees (Lennon) and Fortune-Lloyd (Epstein). John, Paul, George and Brian were all about the same height....but Lees looks to be about 5'6", and Lloyd is almost 6'3"...and they made no attempt to minimize that, standing them right next to each other in some shots. The "Tex" character seemed bolted-on, and the up-beat tone / 4th wall stuff was strange, considering how Brian ended up.

I was prepared to like this movie as I feel Brian Epstein didn't get the credit he deserved. Not knowing a lot about Epstein, I came away feeling that the movie didn't do him justice. It mostly focused on how unhappy he was. It focused on his struggles with being gay in a less enlightened period. It made it seem like he took no pleasure or solace in the success he achieved and what he had done for the Beatles. His interactions with the group played too small a role in the screenplay. The Beatles were quite broken up and lost after he died and that was the beginning of the end of the group. See more Arthur R @RT88125953 Sep 16, 2026 Interesting enough look at the life of Brian Epstein, though not sure if it covers everything. The performances are serviceable and the structure of the film is a bit hit-and-miss but ultimately Beatles fans will enjoy another retrospective. I wouldn't say this film turned it all to gold, but Epstein sure found a bit of magic See more Nigel J @NwJC24 Jul 22, 2026 As a big Beatle fan I was excited to see this movie. Very, very disappointed. Many inaccuracies in the story telling and choice of songs. By half way through I was looking forward to the movie being over. See more Read all reviews
