I still rate this movie, even though it was originally suppose to be TV doco. It was suppose to be Paul's baby with the best intentions of trying to keep the group together and get 'em focus back to what they were good at, making music. But the cameras and early starts didn't make for good inspirational stuff. Hence the move from a biggish movie sets to a more intimate recording studio and the down sizing of the project from a live concert to just a few songs sang on the roof top of Apple studios.

I'd be watching it for the behind-the-scene performances and less of the drama parts.
I'm sure the camera took its own direction capturing the deterioration of The Beatles.

Originally when I saw the movie, it just came across as a small initmate group of 4 guys throwing some songs at each other and getting a lil' catty doing it. The songs were all a lil' scratchy to start with, but with a lil' practice, it all came together. There is no narration during the doco, because you are so engrossed with the Beatles making music, you don't really see a detoriation of a major group, well I didn't anyways. Sure you witness Paul and George having some words with George not appreciating Paul's advice, but George comes back a couple of scenes later and the music continues.

You can see them all straining to be together. They look like a tensed couple waiting for one snap of irritation at each other and ready to make a divorce. Yous can see how (almost) well they behaved when a guest was coming in, Billy Preston. It was like what they said in the Anthology. Poor Paul, though, he was expecting the recording would bring them back together.
As usual from The Beatles, great music still. Of course. Who wouldn't expect that, anyway.
