Among other things, specifically The Beatles would be strange, only of course if you were one of the very few who had prior knowledge of them. An interesting concept caused by a blackout phenomenon that is never explained; which is fine, as the goal is not to describe why, just what it would be like.
The music is fantastic obviously, and huge kudos to Himesh Patel for doing all his own singing. The movie is generally a feel good flick with an underlying love story. There's nothing else that is really spectacular about it, so to me this was a good movie made by one of the more creative filmmakers out there.
My favourite scene has to be near the end when our main character meets with that one specific musical icon in his old age. Makes one think how differently things in the world could be depending on some people's life choices.

If you are a Beatles fan or even if you just enjoy one or two of their songs-don't miss this movie. Its a beautiful tribute to the Beatles & received the approval of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono & Olivia Harrison. That tells you something right there. It's sweet, funny & bittersweet. Ed Sheeran is amazing-sweet & befuddled as he tries to figure out how Jack writes masterpiece after masterpiece. I can assure you that you'll be smiling at the end of the movie and finding your Beatles music wherever it is. I laughed, I cried, and I remembered my beautiful John Lennon . I can assure you that you will be smiling at the end You might also be dancing. Love, Love, Love.
I went into this wondering if they were going to explain the whole premise with it being a dream or such? Was he going to get caught and crucified for it? Was he going to get the girl, lose the girl? So many movies are fixated on realism and difficulties and negativity. Yes, he faces several difficulties. But, the movie is light and beautiful with fantastic music. If I want realism, I watch a documentary. This is what I go to the movies for. Really well done!
Saw it at my cinema in Lovran, Croatia just a few hours ago, so it's still pretty "fresh" while I'm writing this.
The whole idea is great, haven't seen those yet in mainstream cinema. The plot is pretty much straight-forward, with likeable characters, great music (of course) and when the movie was over, it left me with good feeling and a smile on my face still singing Hey Jude.
All actors are really good, but Lily James is so adorable in this movie! She shines in her character and steals every scene she is in. Liked her the most (obviously).
Take your girlfriend/boyfriend/friends/family to see this rom-com fantasy music comedy in cinema on a big screen, and even if you won't like the movie, you will sing Beatles songs after and feel good about it (guaranteed)!

Movies like Yesterday aren't meant to challenge our intellect or keep us on the edge of our seats. They're mean to entertain without strain, and tap into our sense of feelgood and nostalgia.
That's exactly what Yesterday does, and it does it very well. The acting is spot on, the characters relatable, and the humorous moments well placed and paced.
The fabulous songs of the Beatles don't hurt either. Watch through the credits for the full version of "Hey Jude"
Don't judge Yesterday by the same yardstick as Endgame or Get Out and you might thoroughly enjoy it as I did

Did you know
- TriviaHimesh Patel did all his own singing and playing in the movie.
- GoofsWhen the blackout occurs, there are shots of various places across the globe simultaneously descending into darkness, yet half of the globe would have been in daylight - except the daylight half is mostly Pacific Ocean with the USA after sunset in the west, night-time Eurasia in the middle, and Japan before dawn in the east.
- Quotes
John Lennon: You want a good life? It's not complicated. Tell the girl you love that you love her. And tell the truth to everyone whenever you can.
- Crazy creditsAs well as the credits being shown in a The Beatles-style font, whenever a name contains the letter B during the non-scrolling section of the closing credits, the B is larger than the rest of the text.
