Sam Taylor Wood’s stunning directorial debut delivers a powerful portrait of John Lennon’s formative years. A lonely teenager, curious and sharp, growing up in shattered Liverpool with two incredible women fighting for his love. Mimi (Scott-Thomas), the formidable aunt who raised him, and Julia (Duff), the spirited mother who gave him up. Escaping into music, John (Johnson) finds a kindred spirit in the young Paul McCartney. But just as John’s new life begins, the truth about his past leads to a tragedy he would never escape
