Movie review - "Get Back" (1991) **

 This was grim. Paul McCartney's world tour in a particularly uninteresting time in his life. Linda is on keyboards but we don't see much of her. We see more of these other musicians there. Sorry ifyou're important, guys, I didn't recognise you.Nice colours.Bright lights.  Baby boomer audience members dancing away having a good time. Late 80s fashion - mullets, long sleeves.

Paul goes through the hits, Beatles and Wings with some newer ones. There's clips to some songs - vision from Help! and shots of Vietnam veterans and the like.

It's not very well done. I mean it's professional, just dull. It's Trad Dad had more fun. Richard Lester's last studio film to date. You long for some life... some pretentious chat, some backyard footage, an appearance by Ringo. Something.
