The film was fully human, engaging, warm, pulled you in, and empathy-inducing. Jacob Fortune-Loyed gave a sterling performance-he almost did not act-he was Brian. The music was ageless and wonderful.

Seen the film and think that your review is very good. I also liked the way the film was made using various technics and that the focus was on Brian.

[@BoysOnFilm]

Thank you! Yes, agree with your comment on the technics. Well handled and there for a reason.

I'm the same, I enjoyed it more than I was expecting to, which was a nice surprise. I think the second half is slower than the first, so it started to loose it's grip on me then. But I guess as it's a film of a man behind the scenes, the subject matter may contribute to it feeling slower and quieter than other biopics as biopics tend to be on those at the flashy front. I think the actors who played the beatles did a really good job of capturing their essence.

[@BoysOnFilm]

Absolutely agree Jenny.

Meh, everyone knows Billy Preston was the "fifth beatle"

[@beatlebrian4404]

I like the film but being a Beatles fan, the height of the actor, playing John Lennon, was a big distraction, considering Lennon was the same height as McCartney!

@ I so wanted to like it, I just found myself cringing, with so many factual errors & many of the actors that were so miscast, I couldn’t wait for it to finish, being a mega Beatles freak I feel disappointed & what with the ridiculously stoopid idea of releasing the inferior USA albums over here, it hasn’t been a good year
