Review: Yesterday
Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis join forces for a likeable enough, Beatles-themed musical drama.
James Mottram, The List, 24th June 2019EIFF: Yesterday review
This is a delightful film, and though it is not perfect, and could have been improved with a little more bombast here and there and a little less Curtis cuteness, it is undoubtedly an entertaining and outstandingly crafted piece.
Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller, Edinburgh49, 24th June 2019Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle on Yesterday
The rom-com imagines a world where only one man remembers The Beatles - and how he becomes a star.
James Mottram, i Newspaper, 21st June 2019Review: Yesterday
Yesterday is a typical Curtis vehicle, amiable, and eminently watchable - but the film is directed by Danny Boyle, who displays none of the distinctive, visual flourishes I've come to expect from him, leaving me with the conviction that this could have been directed by just about anybody.
Philip Caveney, Bouquets & Brickbats, 21st June 2019Yesterday: inside a world without The Beatles
Imagine there's no Beatles. It's easy if you try.
Paul Glynn, BBC, 19th June 2019Comic Relief to cut back on celebrity appeals

BBC, 12th June 2019Yesterday review: Are Curtis and Boyle the dream team?
Have you seen Goodnight Sweetheart? Yesterday is basically a feature-length version of Gary's habit of claiming credit in the past for popular songs, solely focused on The Beatles.
Ian Sandwell, Digital Spy, 5th May 2019Yesterday review: a pleasant but flimsy romantic comedy
With a screenplay by Richard Curtis, Danny Boyle's far-fetched tale of plagiarism has nothing like the momentum of the director's best works.
Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 5th May 2019'Yesterday': Film Review | Tribeca 2019
All you need is... a more imaginative scenario.
John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter, 5th May 2019Yesterday abandons premise in favour of mediocre romcom
Yesterday wastes possibly the best "on paper" premise this year to just make an average at best romantic comedy. It's quite disappointing.
