Nowhere Boy

Excelent film with talented actors and an atmospheric soundtrack. I can't say how accurate it is, since I'm not familiar with John Lennon's biography—but even so, it was pretty interesting to watch. No complaints here.

An interesting biopic film on the life of young John Lennon. For whatever reason, the movie seemed to try too hard…as if the story of a teenager with a dysfunctional family was not enough.

Those who are devoted fans of Liverpool's Fantastic Four will be pleased with this film, which tells the story of John Lennon's youth, which was pivotal to his career as a musician. The performances are noteworthy, especially that of Taylor Johnson.

This film simply leaves a horrible taste in your mouth when you register how young Aaron Johnson is here, and his current wife was 42 while directing this. My dislike for her is not solely prompted because Aaron is attractive, but he was so unbelievably young, and he still is. I wish this absolutely pathetic woman was blacklisted from the industry and this film was burned from the brains of any poor soul that had to sit through such disgusting person's movie. He was a victim, and it hurts my heart everyday that this situation happened right in front of the world and she's not getting outcasted from the industry.

The pre- fame Beatles in which the central character is John Lennon. The acting here Is first rate , and the film is the best I have seen about the Beatles.

Dire , Dull and Discomfiting .

I thought this was a good film and particularly liked Aaron Johnson and KST's performances. As other reviewers have pointed out, the incestual take on Lennon and his mother was a bit much. Still, all in all, a worthwhile watch, particularly for Beatles fans.

Very generic directing and script. Runs 90 minutes and delivers zero points (except for KST acting). Lennons' upbringing is portrayed as a cliche of a cliche of a dysfunctional family. The implied incest seems very questionable and one cannot help but wonder is in the movie only because of the affair between director and lead actor who was (barely) 18 at the time.

Why is the implied incest between John Lennon and his mother the focal point of the movie?

John Lennon's first steps explained perfectly. It could be simple and, if you're a fan, predictable. But she is so inspiring that she deserves your vote. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that where I come from Nowhere Land is full of geniuses like Lennon and maybe me.
