However, while the film has its moments of brilliance, it sometimes struggles to find a clear narrative focus. The chemistry between John and Yoko is palpable, and their creative journey is beautifully illustrated, but the pacing can feel uneven at times. You might find yourself yearning for a bit more depth in exploring their activism beyond the surface level. Still, it's worth a watch if you're curious about their story or have a soft spot for the music of that time. Just don't expect a traditional biopic structure; it's more of a poetic exploration of their life together. Show less
