This is about the adolescence of John Lennon. I enjoyed it. Anne-Marie Duff as the much maligned Julia Lennon is fantastic.
The director, Sam Taylor-Wood, said in the interview attached to the movie on DVD that she did not go for “look alikes” to play the significant parts.
This did not matter in the case of Lennon as Aaron Johnson is sufficiently edgy to pull it off – but Paul McCartney!
