Let It Be (1970)
6/10
So bleak and oddly soulless
7 February 2021
It's hard to give a number rating, but I rated it mostly on how pleasant it is to watch, which is not very. As a historical quasi-documentary, it's a 10. But I really don't like it. These days you can easily find vast alternatives on YouTube and the Anthology.

Obligatory breakup discussion: the writing is certainly on the wall in the film, though I wonder if it were edited that way because they had, in fact, already broke up. Anyway, having Yoko in the studio was obviously not wise, but that was far from the only problem. It's easy to lose sight out just the sheer amount of musical production they created in just six or seven years. I'm thinking they were severely burned out and needed a couple years apart before things got to the temperature they did.
