Released: 2019
Synopsis: Jack, a struggling musician, meets with an accident during a blackout and wakes up to find out that only he remembers The Beatles. Later, he starts singing the band's songs to gain fame.

This was quite charming indeed. I had a good feeling about it right off the bat seeing as Danny Boyle's name was attached, I always enjoy his directing style. The concept was a lot of fun and and seeing a world in which a ban of The Beatles' scale didn't exist was interesting. It's always pretty fascinating to imagine that sort of stuff with how massive of an influence bands like that had on music as a whole and pop culture. Himesh Patel was pretty amazing in the leading role and I had no idea he was such a talented singer, he blew me away with his vocal ability. He's not covering easy songs, very iconic ones, and he totally knocked it out of the park. I loved so many of his covers that his character does. They definitely casted the right guy for this, he was perfect. I felt there was a good balance between the dramatic and humorous moments, neither felt too overbearing and it had a good flow to it. The main character being so conflicted at having fame but knowing that the songs weren't his was really well-done, I enjoyed the character growth.​
