Short description
A rebellious teenager, future Beatle John Lennon lives with his Aunt Mimi in working-class mid-1950s Liverpool, England. Mimi's husband suddenly dies, and John spies his mother Julia at the funeral. Despite Mimi's misgivings, John intends to have a real relationship with his mother. Julia introduces him to popular music and the banjo and, though a family conflict looms, young John is inspired to form his own band.
What's left behind the scenes
- The screenplay is based on the book by John Lennon's half-sister, Julia Baird, 'Imagine This: Growing Up with My Brother John Lennon'.
- Paul McCartney is left-handed, so Thomas Sangster had to practically relearn how to play the guitar.
- The original title of the film is a reference to The Beatles song 'Nowhere Man'.
- The film's main poster is a reference to John Lennon's album 'Imagine'.
- Paul McCartney disagreed with the initial script of the film and told director Sam Taylor-Johnson: 'Aunt Mimi wasn't cruel. She was stern, but her kind heart was full of love for John.' Following McCartney's advice, the director changed the script.
