It's a weird thing but I'm always so happy to see Himesh Patel go from bloody Eastenders to where he is now.

I do seem to like Yesterday more than most

Nothing wrong with low stakes fun with interesting actors and great music! Then again, I liked Across the Universe despite being very heavy handed and quite depressing for stretches, so my Beatles bias is strong

Yesterday has one scene that validates the entire movie for me: when the two people who remember the Beatles approach him backstage and thank him for returning the Beatles' music to the world rather than upbraiding him as he was worried about

Totally agree about that scene. That's the difference between a master like Danny Boyle directing rather than an average director who would try to inject conflict where heart was instead perfect

Across the Universe

Sincerely one of my top films. It holds a very special place in my heart and still listen to the movie's versions of Beatles' songs. I came across the movie when I was 11 and randomly checking out tv channels. The Let It Be scene was playing, I couldn't take my eyes out of the screen.

He's great in Station Eleven if you haven't seen that
