      Christina Newland Hyperallergic Casual and obsessive fans of the band alike will appreciate the sheer volume of new material in Peter Jackson's epic-length docuseries. Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine The footage has been meticulously restored; it looks and sounds like it was filmed yesterday. The result is uncanny. It feels like a dream, a magic trick, a work of time travel science fiction. Rated: 4/4 Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson Vox The Beatles: Get Back is, in the end, the consummate hangout movie. Dec 22, 2021 Full Review Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community [The Beatles: Get Back] breaks myths down by providing examples of moments that disproved certain beliefs regarding the band, its members, and those associated with them. Rated: 8.5/10 Jan 21, 2023 Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect The footage is a study in the juxtaposition of four friends/bandmates who clearly had a unique relationship while displaying the rift that sits awkwardly between them. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Behold live history...

      Simon T Yes, it's far far too long. Almost as if Peter Jackson had edited it in real time. But it's also true that it improves as the truncated roof top gig approaches. And it's fascinating to hear the beginnings of famous songs being minted in the small basement recording studio at Apple HQ, among the mugs of tea and daily plates of toast. Inevitably there's poignancy in what we know is to come, but it's also there in the Scouse humour, the clear affection all the Beatles had for each other, and the hair and fashions of the late-sixties. And technically, the footage has been cleaned up so expertly it could have been shot this afternoon. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Patrick F In this terrific documentary, Peter Jackson expertly recut the footage shot in January of 1969 that produced the film "Let It Be." The result is nearly eight hours of amazing behind the scenes Beatles storytelling. The film reveals the truth behind the final days of the greatest band there ever was. The band was still essentially happy playing together. Yoko did not "break up the Beatles." Paul's witty and foretelling comment in the film about her presence says it all: "It's going to be such an incredible sort of comical thing, like, in fifty years' time, you know: 'They broke up 'cause Yoko sat on an amp'." While the band played nicely together still, the documentary lays bare a series of smoldering hurt feelings and misunderstandings. We see the drama of George quitting the band and having to be coaxed back in by his friends. We see George almost submissively asking for permission to do a solo album apart from the group. We get a real up close look at a band of superstars that decided years earlier not to have a manager try and manage song writing, a live album, and a documentary. The only downside of the film is that it is a little long in the tooth. Casual Beatles fans may get bored here and there. But big fans of the Beatles will just eat it all up. Great film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Aidan M Could be considered boring to some, but music fans will love to see how the most famous band ever wrote their last album together and played one last time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review ed m Fascinating watching The Beatles in the studio. The rooftop concert is glorious. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/07/22 Full Review ed m Fascinating to watch the Beatles in the studio. The rooftop concert is awesome. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review harrison r Fascinating for a performer/writer. Probably sort of interesting for anyone else, too.
