Nowhere Boy tells the story of the teenage years of John Lennon's life. The kid who one day should be remembered as one of the greats in music history, but there was little in his youth pointing towards that kind of success.
I find this movie rather boring. For a fan of Beatles or Lennon or someone who had their youth years listening to them, it might be interesting enough. For the rest of us it's really not that movie-worth at all. The family stories untold and late reviled holds some drama elements a kind eye might consider worth telling, but overall it's not much worth adding to film.
On the bright side we again see a time capturing British movie, much like the recent An Education from the 60's. They sure manage to do that well these days. Another bright side is the acting, where both Aaron Johnson and Kristin Scott Thomas does especially well.
