I rarely give anything a 10/10, but how can I not when it comes to Peter Jackson’s «Get Back»? Casual viewers are not the target audience here. This is, however, absolutely perfect for anyone who wants to be a fly on the wall while The Beatles are writing songs, rehearsing, discussing, kidding around, rewriting songs, smoking, arranging songs, reading newspapers, tuning instruments, looking back and planning ahead. [spoiler] Oh yeah, and they also perform a spectacular 42-minute gig on a London rooftop at the end. [/spoiler] I’ve been waiting for something like this since 1993 (when the first rumours about a remastered «Let It Be» movie surfaced) and I went in watching «Get Back» with sky-high – really absurd – expectations. «Get Back» not only fulfilled my expectations, but surpassed them. Jackson and his team have done a spectacular job! [spoiler] The series even has a happy ending! [/spoiler] Any bad parts, you ask? Well, the intro in the first episode has a few factual errors, f.ex. that John and Paul first met in 1956 (it was 1957) and that Ringo joined The Beatles before Brian Epstein became their manager (he didn't). It doesn't affect my 10/10, though, because... well, because the rest was so fantastic. This is The Beatles as we have never seen them before. A splendid time is guaranteed for… some.

We watched this slowly over about 3 weeks and by the end of it all, when the final credits rolled, it felt like parting from old friends that you knew you would never see again. This whole epic was genius from start to finish. Loved it.

Obviously if you are into The Beatles this is a great watch as you get essentially a fly on the wall view of them bickering, goofing and creating legendary songs. In that same vein it works if you’ve ever been in these groups situations trying to creat something. A lot of the time is spent fucking around trying to find something, laughing, being silly, getting annoyed but then finding that moment as things come together. It really is amazing some of the things captured here as you see the kernel of an idea get built upon and become something. Great stuff!

[Disney+] Peter Jackson not only makes an outstanding documentary about The Beatles, but completes a piece of music history. It is the best description ever made of the creative process of music, but it also contains surprising moments such as the conversation between John and Paul recorded clandestinely. In some ways, it rewrites some of what was known about the band's breakup and builds a different perspective..

❤x10 This is an absolutely amazing documentary! I feel that this is a must-watch series for music lovers of any generation. It gives us a fantastic, amazing, unique insight into one of the most prolific, biggest selling, most #1 hits band of all time. We are essentially a fly on the wall over a month's time, as we watch and listen to the group as they work towards making their next album, a planned live TV show, and this very documentary. But things changed. And changed again. Plans - what plans? the whole thing is pretty much seat-of-your-pants planning. It appears that going into this project on day one no one really had a firm understanding of what anyone really wanted. Especially when it came to the live performance part. The fact that they even thought they could pull any of this off (originally) in under a month's time seemed fantastical. That they completed their task, was a miracle. We get to see the interactions between each member of the Beatles, good and bad. We get to witness their creative process in creating new songs. I was amazed to see how so many non-Beatles contributions to the songs were actually used. Both, lyrics as well as musical input came from the crew and even execs. We watch a lot of goofiness, melodrama, genius, creativity, feelings, tea and toast, so much tea..... and a (short) breakup and reconciliation of the Beatles. Some personal observations (I know some will disagree with me): - McCartney is the driving force behind the music and the group and is the one with the most talent. - The Genius behind the group is the collaboration between Paul and John. Together they were a force to be reconned with. - Lennon seemed to only be partially engaged in this project. - Ringo just looked like he was happy to be there, to be included. - Harrison's disappointment and discouragement, with the band, and friends, was quite palpable. Most of the time he looked like he was the last kid picked for . - Yoko - ugh. If she wasn't sitting in John's lap or laying/leaning against him she was never more than 12inches away from him. It was quite amazing to see Paul's face light up when the potential rooftop concert was brought up as an alternative to the live shows that had been discussed so far. You could literally see all his frustrations, with everything up until that point, be replaced by a child-like wonder on Christmas morning of this new option. How I rate: 1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time 4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too 9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!
