Leave your thoughts about Nowhere Boy.
| smh.com.auGiles HardieSetting a cracking pace, Nowhere Boy is a joyful journey into the power of personality, the finding of friends and the start of an amazing life, and to top it off, is one of the best films of the year to boot. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanBy the end of Nowhere Boy, you'll feel you know John Lennon better than you ever did. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzIt's a measure of how good a film Nowhere Boy is that it would be compelling even if it were the story of the formative years of a boy named Joe Brown. |
| New York PostKyle SmithIt's strange enough to be raised by your aunt. For young John Lennon, things get stranger still when he finds himself dating his mother. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigIt paints a complex picture of strained familial relations and a poignant look at the wounds inflicted on a sensitive soul by an unreliable parent. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWe learn that the emotional roller coaster of his formative years probably contributed to the complexity of his lyrics. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsNowhere Boy is too astutely written and directed to go to predictably melodramatic extremes. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt cares more about the characters and their relationships than it does the factual or historical context of it all. |
| MovieMaker MagazineDan LybargerNowhere Boy proves the flesh-and-blood Lennon is infinitely more fascinating than the saint. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerIf Mike Leigh made a movie about the birth of the Beatles, it might play a lot like Nowhere Boy -- and that's a compliment. |
