Roger Ebert gave Across The Universe four stars raving that it 'sounds like a concept that might be behind its time, but I believe in yesterday.'

I have been a Beatles fan my entire life. I began watching this movie not sure if I would love the renditions or if they wouldn't even live up to the legend that is the Beatles. I was so pleasantly surprised at the talent of the cast and everyone involved with this movie. The songs were done so well and integrated with the movie beautifully- that I was able to appreciate their same quality, but in a new way. Ebert says 'the beauty is in the execution. The experience of the movie is joyous. I don't even want to know about anybody who complains they aren't hearing 'the real Beatles.' [...] These songs are now more than 40 years old, some of them, and are timeless, and hearing these unexpected talents singing them (yes, and Bono, Izzard and Cocker, too) only underlines their astonishing quality.'


{JoJo: Music's the only thing that makes sense anymore, man. Play it loud enough, it keeps the demons away.}
I'm begging you to see this movie if you haven't already done so. I promise that you will not be disappointed.
Currently listening to:: {my favorite Beatles song} Blackbird.
