I was 9 years old when the Beatles came to America; then everything changed....for the better. See this movie and you... ill understand why John Lennon loved music and why he needed to succeed in life with his music. The torture and sadness he went through as a teenager helped shape his need to succeed as a Quarryman and later as the leader of the Beatles. Great movie and a must see for anyone that loves the music they created. Full Review

If you are looking for a feel good, toe-tappin' kind of movie loaded with snappy Beatles tunes, this is not it!... 4; this is a deep look at the complex home life of the young John Lennon. The movie stays true to the 1950's youthful revolution as rock and roll took over a generation and we get to watch the combustion of a teenager while he comes to grips with a troubled mother he never knew and a unyielding aunt who was forced to raise him. Like life for all of us, sometimes the slice of reality is hard to watch. But we watch it all the same. The cast was steller, Kristen Scott-Thomas wonderful and Aaron Johnson as Lennon someone to keep an eye out for. Full Review

It's strange enough to be raised by your aunt. For young John Lennon, things get stranger still when he finds himself dating his mother.Full Review

We learn that the emotional roller coaster of his formative years probably contributed to the complexity of his lyrics.Full Review

It paints a complex picture of strained familial relations and a poignant look at the wounds inflicted on a sensitive soul by an unreliable parent.Full Review

There are so many ways in which Nowhere Boy, an emotionally raw and yet raucous, rockin' riff on John Lennon's turbulent teenage years, is such an entertaining piece of nostalgia.Full Review
