Troubles not so far away


Yesterday (2019)

Directed by Danny Boyle this film stars Himesh Paterl, Lily James, Joel Fry, Ed Sheeran and Kate McKinnon. After getting hit by a bus a struggling musician finds he is the only one who can remember The Beatles and their songs.

There is something to the premise of this film but unfortunately the script is just riddled with elements that I hated. In the end the film seems to imply you should give in to imposter syndrome, romantic relationships can only happen when men make the first move and that you should let go of your dreams to be happy. Richard Curtis may manage to sprinkle some of his familiar upper middle class sugar on top of this story but the more I think about it the more I really dislike it.

2/5
