I saw this movie in the Theater. It is a must see for any Beatles Fan who thinks they know everything there is to know about the Beatles. This movie is dedicated to a time in the Beatles history where there is really not enough information in the standard books and Biographies, The Stu Sutcliffe Era. I believe there is no orginal Beatles music in the film because the director could not get rights release from Yoko and Michael. This does not dominish the power of this film, it only firms my love for the older more rock-a-billy style of the Beatles that is little known. I hope everyone enjoy's this film it is wonderful.

A good telling of the early struggles of The Beatles in Hamburg and Liverpool as tough boys, before they became the mop-topped Fab Four. The prime element of the story is Lennon's relationship with friend Stu Sutcliffe, and how - regardless of the friendship - John was driven to get his band on top. The actors are spot-on in portraying the personalities of the guys - or what the public perception of each one was.

Despite some glaring (and unforgivable) historical errors, this is the best Beatles biopic thus far.
