"Nowhere Boy"

Although I'm a lifelong Beatles fan, I really didn't know anything about John Lennon's early life. This well-done biopic gives a great deal of insight into his formative years. It tells of his high school and early college days in Liverpool, where he was raised by his aunt. Unbeknownst to him, his mother actually lived a few blocks away. He eventually meets her and her other family and a somewhat strained relationship begins. The movie also covers his musical journey without the "And then they became famous and changed the world of music!" ending  I was expecting. Great acting and a nice vignette into late 50s Britain.
4 out of 5 stars
