We saw Yesterday last weekend at the Bella Bottega Theatre in Redmond. I am a Beatles fan as I grew up in the heyday of Beatlemania. While many subsequent generations have embraced the band, living during the evolution of the group was an experience in itself. The band was always doing new thing and rewriting the industry. It really was a phenomenon beyond words.
In this movie, a struggling street musician, Jack Malik, finds that the world has forgotten everything about the Beatles. That is everyone but him, he finds out that he can kindle the flames of Beatlemania by singing songs of the group, since no one knows of there existence. This makes for a great career for Jack.
Hamesh Patel is marvelous as Jack and Lily James is wonderful in her role as his manager/love interest Ellie. Kate McKinnon is a scene stealer in the role of Jack's manager Debra Hammer. I think all three performances are Oscar Worthy.
