Oh man, do I love Christopher Nolan!
It’s no secret that we’re living in an unprecedented time where the very existence of the theatrical experience is being threatened. Even if the quarantine is lifted, there’s going to be a lot of hesitation for audiences to return to the big screens. However, if anyone can bring people back to theaters, begging for more — if anyone can provide an argument for why cinema and movies need to be viewed outside the comfort of our own homes, and through immersive experiences we can’t get from streaming on our TVs — it’s Christopher Nolan!

Yesterday is out in theaters today — yes, it sounds really complicated, but it’s really good.
Written by Richard Curtis (Love Actually) and directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire), Yesterday tells the story of a failed singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) who, after a freak bus accident during a mysterious global blackout, wakes up to discover that The Beatles never existed. Taking this opportunity to become the singer-songwriter he always wanted to be, he begins to perform their songs and becomes an overnight sensation. While all of this is going on, there is a love story between Jack and his childhood best friend Ellie (Lily James).
The latest from the team that brought you Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones’ Diary, and Love Actually hits theaters this Friday. Will audiences long for Yesterday the same way they swooned for those films? We’re here with the full review!
