It has long been a fantasy of mine to have been present when a songwriter/musician, particularly a Beatle, first hit on a melody, lyric or sound. This film get closer than anything I've seen to doing that and it was hypnotic watching the four refining their songs in their unique way.
What was equally enthralling was witnessing the apparent love the four had for each other despite George's brief disgruntlement which, while disappointing, again proved how strongly each member valued the others' contribution.
Also revealing was the fact that Yoko seems to have been unfairly blamed for breaking up the band; at least, on the evidence of this film, she was no more than a benign presence. If any negative influence did occur, it was obviously out of the scope of the production team.
