Yesterday* (12A)

(GB 2019)
Universal/Perfect World/Decibel Films/Working Title. 116m. Panavision

A luckless Lowestoft singer-songwriter has an accident during a global blackout, and becomes a star because no-one else has heard of The Beatles.
A neat idea for a musically comedic Twilight Zone that is never really explored as it should be. The satirical possibilities are also threadbare as the film opts to spend most of its time rehashing the familiar Four Weddings sentimental scenario all over again. Of worth for music fans to enjoy the famous tunes, reasonably well presented.
