Let It Be

At one point rehearsing "I've Got A Feeling", John is heard singing (and bantering) with Paul, but his mouth isn't moving on camera.

Due to the 2 camera technique used to film most of the scenes, during much of the performances the audio does not match up with the performers.

One such example is during the Suzy Parlor segment, and again during I Got a Feeling, though this scene was filmed using 5 cameras.

Let It Be started out as a documentary about The Beatles recording material for what was to be their next album. What director Michael Lindsay Hogg got instead was a documentary about a band who's best days were (unfortunately)behind them & were obviously tired of it all and each other.

Being a lifelong Beatles fan, this review is difficult to compose. I was in grammar school when they were making gold records and I, like many of my contemporaries, felt the beauty of their music.

Saw this movie when I was a kid and just saw it again a few days ago.First, the video quality is pretty bad, I mean ,this is the Beatles you think they would use good quality film equipment but the whole movie looks like those old 8mm home movies.

Let It Be wasn't much as a Beatles album, so it's perhaps appropriate that this isn't much as a documentary.The director was a specialist in making music videos rather than making documentaries, and one wishes this had been filmed by someone more experienced in cinema verite like D.

I saw this movie for the first time only a few days ago. Being a Beatles fan, I was always curious but hadn't the opportunity to see this.

Beatles fans will disagree, but there are really only two things to recommmend this movie1.

"Let It Be". You can't really separate the album from the film.

Let It Be was the final film done by the Beatles.It happens to be a documentary wherein the recording sessions of the Fab Four for the release of the final album was being filmed by Michael Lindsay- Hogg.

Let It Be (1970) ** (out of 4) This "document" of The Beatles making their final album and leading up to the "Rooftop Concert" is a rather dull and tedious film that I'm sure will only appeal to die-hard fans. As a document, there's really not too much to see here except for the rehearsals, which again, are only for die-hards.
