Additional InformationThe true story of John Lennon's troubled childhood and difficult relationship with his family is brought to the screen in this period drama. Young John (Alex Ambrose) is a bright but sharp-tongued boy living in the coastal town of Liverpool during the 1950s with his aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas) and uncle George (David Threlfall). John's father walked out on the family when he was four years old, and the boy was given to Mimi to raise, even though his mother, Julia (Anne-Marie Duff), was still alive. While Mimi's straight-laced nature runs counter to John's more reckless personality, they clearly love one another and the household is thrown into chaos when George dies suddenly. At the funeral, teenage John (now played by Aaron Johnson - KICKASS) sees Julia, and learns to his surprise that she lives only a few blocks away from Mimi. John pays her a visit, and Julia gratefully welcomes him back into her life. Julia's personality is a much closer fit to John than Mimi, and she encourages his love for writing and music, teaching him to play the banjo. However, John's renewed relationship with Julia brings up a number of unanswered questions, and causes new tensions between Mimi and John. And as rock & roll becomes the hot new sound of the day, John falls in love with the bold new music and makes a friend who is interested in forming a band, Paul (Thomas Brodie Sangster). The first feature film from artist-turned-director Sam Taylor-Wood.
ReviewsEmpire - Anchored by a strong central turn, Nowhere Boy crafts entertaining, small-scale drama out of Lennon's huge-sized legend. It just lacks the spark and ambition of its subject

Lennon's Liverpool
I loved this film. I was lucky enough to be a little twerp growing up in the Dingle from 1961 onwards (happy days) --- Ringo lived just around the corner on High Park Street --- but all this stuff really took me back. Back to what I DIDN'T know was going on then ( 4 or 5 years previously). We all knew about Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane (obviously) in those days,but never ever imagined what these four boys would become. Growing up with The Beatles,on reflection,was an honour and a privilege // if only we could have realised it at the time.... // but we can't go back there,unfortunately.... Two minor criticisms of this film : I always thought that Mimi lived on Menlove Avenue (and the house depicted doesn't look as though it is.....) and I cannot recall ANY instances of riding on the roofs (rooves???) of buses // surely impossible??? // and there certainly WEREN'T any double-yellow lines on the streets in 1957.......... Although proud to have been born in Barnsley, I am even more proud to share my birthday (albeit 10 years later) with Mr Lennon. No --- perhaps not : Yorkshire first,always, but John was not a bad Scouser.............Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
