Rating: 3/5 -- Backbeat, which for all its pretensions can often be impressively canny and affectionate about its subject, is helped enormously by newly recorded versions of Beatle records.

There's nothing very profound here, but we do at least get a nice handling of period and milieu, and pretty good performances of the songs. Full Review

What pulls you over the bum spots is the electrifying immediacy.

Get back, get back to where you once belonged, you want to shout. But the movie is stuck in the wrong groove. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It is the band, the group - with or without Sutcliffe - that makes Backbeat such a powerfully emotional elegy. Full Review

Product Description:

This hard-driving, energetic drama chronicling the Beatles' ascendance to fame in Hamburg's club circuit centers on "fifth Beatle" Stu Sutcliffe and his close relationship to John Lennon. Driven by art rather than music, Sutcliffe ultimately must choose between his true passion and certain superstardom.
