Mary A @Pixie218 58m With all the material out there about the Beatles and Sir Paul individually, I wasn’t sure what was left to tell. The footage and storytelling in this film revealed the struggle to cope with the ending of the most significant band in rock history. It gave insight into the vulnerability and fear that Paul experienced and yet had an upbeat and optimistic feel all the way through. SPOILER ALERT: I found it fascinating that he formed Wings and put the band through the same process towards success that the Beatles experienced even though he could have called on industry favors to bypass touring in a minivan! The footage was fresh and the story was captivating. See more John T @Rukidin 1h Watching this film felt like paging through my own autobiography. I’ve carried Paul McCartney’s voice in my head for nearly fifty-nine years; his songs have marked both the quiet crossroads and the pivotal turning points of my life. To me, he remains one of the most life-affirming figures in modern music. The film acknowledges the shadows as well. It traces his losses and moments of self-doubt, yet highlights his enduring drive to create songs that have become part of so many personal soundtracks. The director moves chronologically, weaving archival footage, some rarely seen, with inventive visual interludes that spotlight key songs. The story builds toward John Lennon’s death and the end of Wings in 1980, treating both with restraint and dignity, while honoring Linda McCartney’s steadfast and positive influence. For devotees of The Beatles or Wings, this film will likely feel less like a documentary and more like a reunion. It certainly left me misty-eyed. See more James C. @jmc63 1h Excellent!
