Midas Man

I've been a Brian Epstein fan for as long as I've been a Beatles fan so I was in part dreading this movie as much as I was looking forward to it . What I would say to anyone who is thinking of watching is give it a go. Not a perfect film by a long chalk, but they've managed to capture authenticity in abundance. JFL absolutely nails the lead role, he's genuinely a star in the making but the supporting roles seem really well thought out too. I had heard ( being a super fan) that there was trouble with the production, you'd never guess. I'd have liked a five hour tv series with the same production values as this film, that would have done Brian justice but as a film and a one off it's more than decent.

I know people who were there and I absolutely can't wait for them to see this on the big screen hopefully, although as I understand atm in the UK it's going straight to Amazon? That's a shame, I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen and maybe I'm biased but it's one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in months. The one thing no one can disagree with is Brian was loved and he should ge remembered as such. A bonafide legend. Go and watch this, download it or buy the dvd ( are they still a thing?) .
