The latest jukebox movie to put its women on mute

Danny Boyle's schmaltz-fest is all about musicians, and all of them are men. It's another hero's journey in which women are there to dote, scold and sell out.

Yesterday review

A hopeless songwriter wakes up to find he's the only person who can remember the Fab Four's hits in a wacky, winning comedy directed by Danny Boyle.

Movie review - Yesterday (2019)

Although it might be difficult to judge the staying power of Yesterday, especially when viewing it through the prism of Curtis' biggest hits of 15 - 20 years ago, it is undeniably a fun ride.

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.

Ian Sandwell, Digital Spy, 5th May 2019

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.

Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 5th May 2019
