Nowhere Boy

Indie, True Story
3.5 stars
Slow moving but interesting story of John Lennon’s teen years before the inception of The Quarrymen and The Beatles. Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass) stars as Lennon with Kristen Scott Thomas as the stern aunt who raised him. This is not a story about the music, it’s about Lennon trying to learn the truth about who his parents are. The acting was decent, but I’d have appreciated it more if the actors playing John, Paul and George even remotely resembled the real men. The actor playing Paul, especially, is short and kinda ugly! Anyway, this film is really only for huge Lennon fans.
