In 1970, director Michael Lindsay-Hogg released an 80-minute documentary about the recording of the Beatles ' Let It Be Fab Four 's arguments that ultimately led to the group's breakup.
Now, all the material that was recorded at the time has been made available to director Peter Jackson to release a new version of the documentary, showing never-before-seen scenes, never seen by fans. The Beatles: Get Back was the result of 55 hours of unreleased recordings, 140 hours of unreleased audio, and two years of intense work. Jackson divided the documentary into three parts, all of which are now available on Disney+.
The streaming platform accepts a monthly subscription for R$27.90 or R$279.90 per year, paid upfront. You can also subscribe to the platform with Combo+, which integrates Disney+ and Star+, another streaming platform from the Disney group. The combo costs R$45.90.
At the time of publication of this article, Rotten Tomatoes , the famous film review website, indicated a total approval rating of 88% from critics and 90% from the audience who had already watched and rated the documentary on the site.
Rolling Stone USA reviewed the film and wrote: “It’s funnier, louder, sadder, and more real than anyone imagined. But it’s not about recording an album or a concert. It’s a glimpse into a beautiful and intimate friendship – the world’s favorite quartet.”
“We’re seeing [in the documentary] recordings that have gone through a mastering process, so it looks like it was recorded yesterday, it looks like we’re there in the room with the Beatles,” he told Variety .
One of the only negative reviews came from The Guardian , which wrote that it found it too long and boring: "There comes a point, after five hours, when any sign of hearing yet another dismantled version of 'Don't Let Me Down' is a threat to the viewer's sanity."
