The story of Brian Epstein is a fascinating story, and I'm afraid this film disappoints. The breaking of the fourth wall works in some films, but not this one. I didn't mind Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as Brian, but Jay Leno as Ed Sullivan was a terrible choice. I thought the actors playing The Beatles were OK , except John Lennon was way too short. It was off putting.
I think most people who will watch this film would be aware of The Beatles, so their story didn't have to be told. It was Brian Epsein's story, and I don't believe his story was told. I have been waiting years for someone to make decent biopic about Brian Epstein, and I guess I'll have to keep waiting.
