I've never been a big fan of The Beatles, and I didn't have to be in order to enjoy this movie. This is a biopic, yes, but it would have been just as good if it were about a fictional character or I had no idea who John Lennon was. This is a heartbreaking drama about a teenage boy suffering loss, trauma, and trying to find his place. I imagine Beatles/John Lennon fans will love this on a much deeper level.
For those who expect the story about the rise of The Beatles: this movie is not for you. Nowhere Boy talks about John Lennon's relationship with his family, more specifically with his mother and his aunt. And this film does it perfectly.
