DVD: Nowhere Boy, For retail & rental (Icon)

The teenage John Lennon (Aaron Johnson) has been living with his straitlaced Aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas), only to discover that his biological mother, Julia (Anne-Marie Duff), is raising another family just down the road.

It's a story that could have made for a challenging coming-of-age drama, but Nowhere Boy is a typical BBC4-ish celebrity biopic, without much of the flair you might have hoped for from director Sam Taylor-Wood. Better on TV than at the cinema.
