Yesterday
Like McCartney without Lennon, Danny Boyle’s Yesterday is long on whimsy, short on content—but it works. An entertaining one-note fantasy rom-com packed with every Beatles joke and fan-service imaginable, the winsome premise tells the tale of a struggling songwriter who discovers he’s the last man on earth who remembers The Beatles’ music—and capitalizes on it by performing their songs as his own.

Kernels of Truth
I’m more of a guide than a judge. I review a film because it resonates on some personal level. Many of those reviewed here have earned 4-kernel ratings—not because these films are equal, but because they represent some form of greatness.

My goal is to communicate strengths and weaknesses, from my own biased perspective ... and to help you decide which ones pop for you.
