This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. I looked into it mainly out of a morbid curiosity since I loved the novel, and I wish I hadn't. I turned it off after a little less than an hour, though I wanted to turn it off after five minutes. I wish I had. It disregards the novel a lot and changes all sorts of factors. Unless the film managed to redeem itself in the last 50 or so minutes (which would be impossible) I would in no way recommend this. Its an insult to one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. I don't think, as many people say that it is, that "The Bell Jar" is necessarily unfilmable, but this particular rendition could have been done without. I'd almost like to see this one day in the hands of a director and screenwriter who can do it justice.
You ever wondered what happened between Brian Epstein and John Lennon in Barcelona, Spain just before the Beatles made it big? Me neither.
I found this movie completely unnecessary and, if anything, it tarnishes John Lennon's name. I don't think either Brian Epstein or John Lennon were portrayed accurately, as well. Not that the filmmakers didn't try to portray them accurately, tried a little too hard in fact. This is just a case of a movie going where it really didn't need to go.
I would definitely not recommend this movie to anyone, especially Beatles fans. I don't think any real Beatles fan will appreciate this movie and the way that it portray John Lennon.
