YESTERDAY
HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET
Richard Curtis and Jack Barth came up with the idea, and Curtis wrote the screenplay, for this imaginative 2019 movie, which Danny Boyle directed with flair. The premise is as simple as it is original: What if a man awoke one day to discover he was the only person alive with memories of The Beatles and their music? Himesh Patel plays the lucky musician, who gets to pass off the music as his own, and Lily James plays the woman who understandably is drawn to him, and his songs. It’s a movie that reminds us all why we love The Beatles – and, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
