Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Taylor-Wood has specialized in video installations and off-kilter portraits, and it was tempting to hope that her take on Lennon would unsettle and provoke. Instead, she stays resolutely on-kilter, as if awed into numbness by her subject.
– Anthony Lane,
New Yorker,

fresh:
The events chronicled are all longstanding Beatles legends, though director Sam Taylor-Wood manages to stage even the most portentous moments without making you feel a celestial choir is in order.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
15 Oct 2010
fresh:
More love triangle than musical, the effective and often sweet Nowhere Boy offers a sense of the time and tension that produced John Lennon.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,

fresh:
This portrait of a Beatle as a young man also gives filmmaker Sam Taylor-Wood, working on a thoughtful script by Matt Greenhalgh, creative room to manoeuvre, introducing us to John just as he and rock 'n' roll discover one another.
– Stephen Cole,
Globe and Mail,
15 Oct 2010
fresh:
Nowhere Boy is a poignant reminder that before the world was at his command, John Lennon was a bit like you and me.
