The documentary film covers familiar ground, but it is a story most people never get tired of hearing

doesn't fail to honor Lennon's memory (which would be unforgivable) but its emphasis is misplaced

A great documentary about John Lennon, showcasing his career before, during, and after the Beatles up until his death in 1980. It is interesting to see so much of Lennon's personal life, much of the footage was shot when Lennon was still alive, and has a lot of narration from the man himself. I don't really know why
