Let It Be (1970)
7/10
For the True Fan
15 December 2006
I disagree with the previous writer that the LP "Let It Be" contained the Beatles "weakest efforts" - not sure how you can call "The Long & Winding Road", "Get Back", and "Let It Be" weak efforts. However I do agree that the movie leaves a lot to be desired. This is not a great piece of work - but in a strange way - it is appropriately fragmented. This was a complex band, filmed no doubt at a cross-road. The absence of their (recently deceased) manager, the presence of strangers in the studio, the prospect of ever present angst, and combative postures.

While not an easy film to watch, in my opinion a true Beatles fan will take from it the best sense of why this marriage had to end.
