John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky

About This Movie

So, 'John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky' is quite an interesting documentary.

The tone feels very intimate; you get this sense of their creative chemistry and the political climate of the time. The pacing is thoughtful, not rushed, allowing moments to breathe.
