Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Backbeat, which for all its pretensions can often be impressively canny and affectionate about its subject, is helped enormously by newly recorded versions of Beatle records.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
The music is loud and raw, but nevertheless evokes the excitement it generated.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
26 Jan 2006
rotten:
The early, pre-fame days of the Beatles are a great subject for a film, but the potential has been only partly realized in Backbeat.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,

fresh:
What pulls you over the bum spots is the electrifying immediacy.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,

fresh:
There's nothing very profound here, but we do at least get a nice handling of period and milieu, and pretty good performances of the songs.
