Lennon or McCartney

About This Movie

So, 'Lennon or McCartney' is a fascinating documentary that’s unlike your typical music doc. It’s all about the question we’ve all debated: who’s the better Beatle? Over ten long years, Matt Schichter interviews 550 artists, which gives it this sprawling, almost chaotic feel. The pacing varies wildly—some artists deliver their thoughts in a flash, while others take their time, making you feel like you’re part of the conversation. The atmosphere is intimate, yet expansive, and you get a sense of the influence these two figures had on the music scene. The diversity of responses is what makes it special. It’s not just about the answer, but the journey through the varying perspectives and emotions tied to that simple question.
