Hi everyone. Another great thread. A few weeks ago, I saw Yesterday from Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis, with Himesh Patel, Lily James, Kate McKinnon and Ed Sheeran as, well, Ed Sheeran (well, a version of himself). It was really good, I thought. Visually, it had Danny Boyle's trademark flare and Richard Curtis knows how to write comedy and be heart-warming at the same time. A great premise: what if you woke up and The Beatles had never existed? In particular, the scene where Jack (Himesh Patel) is premiering Let It Be to his parents (real-life married couple Sanjeev Bhaskar and Meera Syal) is hilarious. You don't have to be a Beatles fan to appreciate it, although if you are, then there's a whole other level to enjoy. And what's amazing is that Himesh Patel does all his own singing. Did anyone else see it? If so, what did you think?
