It's such a relief when a movie is actually great, restoring your faith in the power of art.
Yesterday is such a movie. Directed by Danny Boyle who made everyone happy with
Slumdog Millionaire back in 2008, his latest venture is another one of those crowd-pleasers that rightfully merit the love of the masses, even as the fancy-schmancy "art critic" reviewers have panned it.
I'm not here to recant the plot, only to say that if your dog just died or you're depressed for some other reason, this film will lift you out of the doldrums. As a bonus, you'll hear some great old Beatles tunes and understand perhaps for the first time how much their music has permeated every corner of our world. And best of all, it's funny.
