Yesterday review
A film to make you cry, laugh and leave with a song in your heart (Hey Jude), it's an uneven watch but by the time the credits rolled all my troubles seemed so far away.
Larushka Ivan-zadeh, Metro, 25th June 2019Yesterday review
The latest romcom from Richard Curtis is a fanciful - and hilarious - homage to The Beatles.
Caryn James, BBC, 25th June 2019Review: Yesterday
Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis join forces for a likeable enough, Beatles-themed musical drama.
James Mottram, The List, 24th June 2019Why The Beatles were God to Danny Boyle
Trainspotting director Boyle tells The Big Issue that The Beatles' influence almost transcended religion for him when he was growing up not far from their native Liverpool in Bury, Greater Manchester.
Adrian Lobb, The Big Issue, 24th June 2019EIFF: Yesterday review
This is a delightful film, and though it is not perfect, and could have been improved with a little more bombast here and there and a little less Curtis cuteness, it is undoubtedly an entertaining and outstandingly crafted piece.
Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller, Edinburgh49, 24th June 2019Yesterday review
Underneath the nostalgia value of this film, if you choose to look, is a rejection of celebrity culture and a reminder that it is the music that matters. That's always worth singing about.
Helen O'Hara, Empire, 24th June 2019Himesh Patel: interview
The actor on his role in Danny Boyle's new film, the work ethic of EastEnders and the pain of following Spurs.
Michael Hogan, The Guardian, 23rd June 2019Danny Boyle interview
The director's new film imagines a world without the Beatles. He talks about bailing out on the latest 007 venture, being a national treasure and why he naively believes in the goodness of human beings.
Xan Brooks, The Guardian, 21st June 2019Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle on Yesterday
The rom-com imagines a world where only one man remembers The Beatles - and how he becomes a star.
James Mottram, i Newspaper, 21st June 2019Review: Yesterday
Yesterday is a typical Curtis vehicle, amiable, and eminently watchable - but the film is directed by Danny Boyle, who displays none of the distinctive, visual flourishes I've come to expect from him, leaving me with the conviction that this could have been directed by just about anybody.
