Another movie that I've been meaning to watch for some time, but hadn't quite got around to yet. I had hopes that Nowhere Boy would be pretty good, as it had been recommended by a friend when it was first released.
Nowhere Boy tells the tale of John Lennon before he became famous, focusing on his relationship with his aunt and his mother. It's not something I knew very much about, never having been an especially big John Lennon fan.
However, it's an enjoyable, interesting film - and the fact that it's about John Lennon is, in some ways, irrelevant. Nowhere Boy is primarily about people's relationships, and how they are never as simple as we would like them to be. Thankfully, whether or not you are a John Lennon fan doesn't really matter - although you are, of course, more likely to know the details of this story already if you are a fan.
Rating: 4 out of 5
