I enjoyed this film despite my mum falling asleep. It's about John Lennon's teenage years, living with his Aunt Mimi and then coming back into contact with his mum Julia, who'd split with her husband.
However, the boy portraying the young Paul McCartney resembled how I imagine the love child of Joe Jackson and Victoria Beckham would look! The period detail was very good - I recognised the rickshaw/Chinaman wallpaper in Mimi's bedroom as being like my aunt's! Anne-Marie Duff was very good as Julia, the unstable mum who behaved to John like an elder sister, loving rock & roll and taking him to Blackpool.
I also felt that the lodger that Aunt Mimi took in was what she wanted John to be like - studious, clean, polite.

We'll have to ask Paul Baker to play Cynthia by Fula which was about the moment she last saw John...

Am I right in thinking that 'Cynthia' by Fula is about her losing sight of John when he went on the train to Bangor to see the Maharishi?
The film 'Nowhere Boy' makes no mention of how he came to first meet Cynthia - it is more about his time at Quarry Bank High School.
