"Its hefty humour and infectious characters will prove a delight for anyone looking to take a date or their parents out for a burly, original, crowd-pleasing night at the cinema."

Flicks
Flicks"It's a good, dumb premise. Only the first half works, though."
—
Vulture
Vulture"In "Yesterday," a world without the Beatles doesn't look any different, so there's little potency to the film's fantasy of the Beatles coming back."
—
Variety
Variety"Although this film can be a bit hokey and uncertain on narrative development, the puppyish zest and fun summoned up by Curtis and Boyle carry it along."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"In the end, Yesterday does what it sets out to do, prove that a world without The Beatles would be infinitely worse."
—
Stuff
Stuff"The result is a pleasant but flimsy romantic comedy, ultimately undermined by its own wafer-thin premise."
—
Independent
Independent"Crowd-pleasing and sometimes enjoyable, but pretty damned dumb when you stop to think about it."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"A glowing tribute to The Beatles and their music, this is both a toe-tapping pleasure to watch and a smart, occasionally scathing look at how we get things wrong."
