Nowhere Boy (2009) starring Aaron Johnson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Anne-Marie Duff, Thomas Sangster. John Lennon's (Johnson) teen years, just before the formation of The Beatles, are depicted in this biopic. He lives with his Aunt Mimi (Scott Thomas), and just as he is getting to know his biological mother (Duff) she is killed in a car accident. The movie does a pretty good job of capturing what we might imagine Lennon's early life was like, but who really knows? Sangster has the thankless role of a young Paul McCartney. He does a good job of playing left-handed guitar. The subtitles are very good. Grade: B+
