🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Andrew Salt constructs the narrative as a collage of voices and images, where personal video archives become the primary narrator. He relies on the intimacy of the material, allowing Lennon to 'tell' his own story through interviews, songs, and home footage, creating a dialogue across time.

What lingers after the credits is not a chronology of events, but the palpable sense of presence—as if one has spent time in the company of a complex, vulnerable genius whose questions about the world still resonate. — MovieFinder Editorial
