Review: Yesterday

Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis join forces for a likeable enough, Beatles-themed musical drama.

James Mottram, The List, 24th June 2019

Danny 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.

Richard 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 2019

Review: 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.

Yesterday: inside a world without The Beatles

Imagine there's no Beatles. It's easy if you try.

Yesterday review: Are Curtis and Boyle the dream team?

Have you seen Goodnight Sweetheart? Yesterday is basically a feature-length version of Gary's habit of claiming credit in the past for popular songs, solely focused on The Beatles.

Yesterday review: a pleasant but flimsy romantic comedy

With a screenplay by Richard Curtis, Danny Boyle's far-fetched tale of plagiarism has nothing like the momentum of the director's best works.

'Yesterday': Film Review | Tribeca 2019

All you need is... a more imaginative scenario.

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter, 5th May 2019

Yesterday abandons premise in favour of mediocre romcom

Yesterday wastes possibly the best "on paper" premise this year to just make an average at best romantic comedy. It's quite disappointing.
