	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"It will make a fine entry point for younger auds who grew up with the songs but never had Beatlemania shoved down their throats."	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"This diverting, brightly assembled boomer nostalgia trip won’t open the eyes of any existing Fab Four fans, however much it pleases their ears."	NEU
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"The absence of George and John is felt keenly, but Paul and Ringo are a pleasure to listen to as ageing raconteurs. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Its conclusions rarely make your head spin, but it meticulously shows its working out. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"By focusing on the touring footage, Howard’s picture distinguishes itself by allowing us to remember them as they started out while emphasising their skill as musicians (...) and the endearing closeness of their unit."	POS
