Yesterday's reviews
Media reviews
Empire
A glowing tribute to The Beatles and their music, this is both a toe-tapping pleasure to watch and a smart, occasionally scathing look at how we get things wrong.
The Guardian
A wacky, winning comedy (...) It is directed with dash and gusto by Danny Boyle (...) There are lots of laughs and goosebump moments
Entertainment Weekly
The sanded edges of 'Yesterday' feel more like a flashy commercial ? one of those recent music documentaries commissioned by the people on screen, propaganda with feels. The music?s good, and it?ll be just as good when your local high school performs 'Yesterday'.
New York Times
'Yesterday' is more of a novelty earworm than a classic. It?s appealing and accessible in a way that the Beatles never really were. If it took itself ? and them ? a bit more seriously, it would be a lot more fun. But it wasn?t made to last.
Variety
It's cute and watchable, but it lacks the magic of discovery (...) a cut-and-dried, rotely whimsical, prefab experience.
The Hollywood Reporter
Crowd-pleasing and sometimes enjoyable, but pretty damned dumb when you stop to think about i (...) Patel is likable in the lead.
Time
'Yesterday', a fantasy that works well enough as a Beatles love letter but falls short in the love-story department.
