Yesterday Movie Review : Beatle-less world, rediscovering magic in melodies
“Yesterday” imagines a world sans the Beatles’ musical magic. Himesh Patel’s Jack, aided by Lily James, navigates this alternate reality where he’s the sole custodian of the iconic tunes. Boyle’s direction, though occasionally hokier, infuses the film with a puppyish zest. The result is a whimsical, exasperatingly enjoyable exploration of a Beatle-less universe.
