the restored footage at shay stadium is unreal. if you love the beatles you gotta watch this movie
Tells the story of the band well and is full of neat factoids.
A nice portrait of Beatles' early years. Would watch it again.
A great documentary on the Beatles, showing the chaos that is touring life and life as a band in general.
Maybe I watched it on YouTube or another service, I can imagine it, I also just can't fathom it, these guys took the world by storms & back
One of my favourite documentaries, always a fun watch.
Well directed documentary, with some great footage of the Beatles in their hay day.
Incredible look into the lives of one of the greatest bands that ever came together.
Ends a bit too early. It lightly touches the early Beatles years but never dives in deep enough for me. Fun watch, but needs a sequel.
Very interesting documentry about the best band ever
