Nowhere Boy – A reserved, modest biopic fascinated by its 'nowhere'

3 Stars out of 4 Nowhere Boy deserves appreciation for its scale, intentions, and drama. All three come in small doses that do not ask for anything more than our immediate attention. Since October 2010 marked the seventieth birthday of rock legend John Lennon, it feels necessary to witness Nowhere Boy as a retrospective of the days leading up to a meaningful legacy. Aaron Johnson is Lennon: his accent is thick, his nuances reflect Lennon in … more

A solid, unassuming but well-acted look at a youthful John Lennon

NoWhere Boy and John Lennon's Youth

Nowhere Boy is a biopic about John Lennon's teenage years, beginning when he was 15. More than anything, Nowhere Man is about John's relationship with his aunt Mimi, the women who raised him, and his mother, Julia, the women who didn't. These relationships had a huge impact on the man John Lennon became and his music. The film also explores John's infatuation with Elvis, his desire to form a rock band and how the Quarrymen came to be. His meeting with Paul … more

Nowhere Boy Finds Good Home

NOWHERE BOY Written by Matt Greenhalg Directed by Sam Taylor-Wood Starring Aaron Johnson, Kristen Scott Thomas and Anne-Marie Duff John: Why couldn’t God make me Elvis?
