Nowhere Boy - John Lennon

Who knew there was so much drama in John Lennon's formative years? Admittedly I am not a big Beattles fan; however, I do admire John Lennon's quest for identity, drive for creative expression and commitment to peace.

Nowhere Boy is a chronicle of John Lennon's early years, focused mainly in his adolescence, his relationship with his aunt Mimi, who raised him, and the perils of his absentee mother Julia. A very attractive and exuberant Aaron Johnson stars as young Lennon and the always engaging Kristin Scott Thomas portrays John's stern Aunt Mimi.

Solid film with historical and pop culture references. The Nowhere Boy who went everywhere.
