Yoko Ono opened her private archive of home movies, unreleased recordings, and personal photographs to build this account of John Lennon's life, from his Liverpool childhood through the Beatles years to his final days in New York. Narration is stitched together from Lennon's own interviews and recordings, so the film runs largely in his voice rather than a narrator's, with Ono, Paul McCartney, and others who knew him filling in around it. Concert and studio footage traces the arc from the Cavern Club to the rooftop performances to solo tracks like the title song, while home footage from the Dakota apartment shows the domestic side of a very public figure. The film leans on access rather than distance: it was made with Ono's cooperation and her archive, which shapes what gets emphasized and what gets left out. What it offers instead of a warts-and-all biography is the closest thing to Lennon narrating his own story, using his music, his interviews, and the people who were actually in the room.
