Very enjoyable. Fine acting and interesting story. Destined for tragedy.
Terrific! Thanks for the Greatest Show on Earth. Very enjoyable.
A big improvement on Ian Drury. Great!

Fabulous acting – brilliant set and scene making and what a star Jonny Aaron is. Music of course from my youth! Magic.
An average film raised onto a higher plane by the inimitable Kristin Scott Thomas.
More an older Tom Jones than a young John Lennon.
I loved the storyline. Brilliant acting by the women.
Great film. Great music. Kristin Scott Thomas – wow! Beautifully acted.
An interesting film particularly well-played by the two women!! Good lads!
No wonder he ended up rather weird! Kristin Scott Thomas was superb as usual.

Too many views of him coming out of gates! Miserable backgrounds do seem to breed geniuses.
I felt it lacked tension and relied too heavily on us knowing what he would become.
I was strangely unmoved. Seemed genuine and touching in places.
Quite a good story averagely told.
I agree with The Guardian critic – good but staged in parts. Well done for coping with the problems.

“All you need is Love”. Congratulations on the 1950s style projector problems: - perfectly reproduced!!
Thanks for getting it back together again. Loved the film but I find the screen rather high (sorry).
Well done – a quick recovery with the DVD and a great venue.
Engrossing in spite of the gremlins. Some excellent performances – very enjoyable in spite of the break!
Rather enjoyable, I liked the music. The story was getting more interesting when it went – glad it come back.
What a relief after last week! Thanks for the diversity of films.
Very good – in spite of the jam on the disk. Well done the production team!

A tellingly poignant account of an unusual triangle but did the ending fall into the sentimental.
I am not sure how true to the real story it was. The John Lennon character appeared not to be the main character in the film.
The film answered all the questions about John Lennon’s later life. Super film.
Explains a lot! I will look at Julia with another level of understanding now!
A much better film than I expected, having grown up with the music.
A brilliant film in every way. Thank you for rescuing it!
A gripping and enjoyable trip down memory lane.

Brilliant! Where were the ice creams in the interval?

The next film will be Everlasting Moments on January 27th in Blandford School Hall.
