Wonderfully offbeat film!

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I am not a researcher of Beatle trivia. I am old enough to remember their debut, and I love them and their music, but I couldn't give you dates or data about their recordings, don't know their birthdays, and never played an album backwards. That said, I couldn't help but be astounded by the plethora of symbols and innuendos that overwhelmingly point to Paul's death and a cover up. It goes way beyond coincidence! One or two symbols or rumors, okay.. but this goes deep and went on and on for years!It was only when I got to the one and a half hour point in the documentary (and yes, this was a documentary until the backlash forced the producers to re-classify it a "mockumentary") that I knew it was contrived: Heather Mills could not have been "Rita", the cause of the "accident" – she did not yet exist at the time!! Later, I read that Rubber Soul came out in 1965, which meant that the reason here for the name Rubber Soul (in lieu of "Rubber Paul", based on Paul's supposed death) could not have been true, since the "death" was to have occurred in 1966.Another falsehood in this film is when you hear George, in an interview, refer to Paul as "Faul", not once, but twice. I read that in the real interview he clearly said "Paul", so this was dubbed for the sake of this documentary. Too bad, because I can't help but think that there might be something to this theory, now scoffed at because of the lies in this docu-mocku-mentary. There are just too many symbols, lyrics, etc, to be nothing more than an elaborate game the boys were playing. If it was a game, it dragged on too long. In photo after photo and album after album Paul is intentionally set apart from the other Beatles. I'm sure these performers considered themselves artists. I don't buy that they spent all that time and effort turning their entire careers into a "Paul is dead" game just for the sake of a little joke and some publicity. I have to wonder if this video is for the purpose of being a red herring? No one would go through the trouble of creating this elaborate exposé, only to throw in some obvious fakes that could be disproved in a moment, such as that Heather Mills, who wasn't even born yet in 1966, could have been the cause of the accident. Surely the guy who put together this nearly 2-hour long, detailed documentary, could not be that stupid. Of course, if he created, or was convinced to create this for the sole purpose of discrediting the entire "Paul is Dead" discussion .... it's a resounding success!

Having been a Beatles fan since 1966... and experiencing the 'Paul is dead' craze in real time, and now watching this video...1. I cannot say for sure, beyond a doubt, that the voice in this video is George Harrison's, beyond a doubt. 2. The story line and evidence is very disturbingly convincing that Paul really did die and that Sir Paul McCartney today is... Faul. 3. If Paul did indeed die, it is no longer a matter of simply broken hearts but rather, of the need of a national security state maintaining its cover. (The government and royalty would be embarrassed for knighting an impostor.) 4. If this is all true, there is only one genuine Beatle left; Ringo. He has already had two years since these tapes were released, to come clean. My guess is that he won't because... either the story is bogus or because he still lives in fear. 5. The church in Blackpool where Paul was supposedly buried, is (reportedly) known. State law prohibits the removal of a body from sanctified ground without a royal order.

Growing up in the 1960's I was a huge Beatles fan and remember vividly the "Paul is dead" hoax back in the fall of 1969. Naturally, out of curiosity, I also looked at the clues that I heard about on the radio and, like an immature 15 year old, I played my Beatles records backwards. The only thing I really got out of it all was that I ruined some of my records in the process.When I saw this "mockumentary" on Amazon I bought it, again out of curiosity. Unfortunately, my curiosity got the best of my wallet and nothing else. The "voice" was not George Harrison's, but a cheap imitation. Also, what was really insulting to the intelligence of core Beatles fans was the film's awful chronological inaccuracies. For example, "George" talks about the album "Rubber Soul" and it's song contents that offered clues to Paul's demise. Unfortunately, this album was recorded in the Fall of 1965 and released by Capital/EMI for Christmas of that year; a FULL year BEFORE Paul's fatal accident in November, 1966."George" states that "Yesterday and Today" (which was only released by Capital in the US and not in the UK) was made AFTER "Revolver". Again, bull twinkies. Revolver was released by EMI on August 5, 1966, almost a full THREE months before Paul's "accident"; "Yesterday and Today" was released in the late Spring of 1966, again a terrible inaccuracy in the timeline. In short: a lot of goofs, but possibly unnoticed by those who know nothing about Beatles music.This film is an insult to George Harrison. George was a remarkably brilliant musician and couldn't possibly be inaccurate about these accounts.If Paul's death was an MI5 cover up, then why didn't the CIA cover up Elvis' death in 1977? I'm sure that hundreds of Elvis fans would have jumped out of windows upon hearing about his death! Is MI5 more competent than the CIA? Never mind, you don't have to answer that question!All in all, this film is awful. Don't waste your money on it.

We were having a really bad day and decided to see this on Netflix streaming because it looked interesting. It definitely delivered in being the bar none most obviously fabricated thing ever.I can take with a grain of salt George supposedly narrating an hour and a half worth of "evidence" in a stunningly quiet hospital room, and even asking his wife for the taping equipment. But...it's so specific that there's no way. Add to that: Capital, not the Beatles, selected the song listing for Yesterday and Today, which was a very sore spot for the Beatles.Yellow Submarine was recorded for Revolver, not Yellow Submarine, which additionally was a soundtrack, not an album. Far moreso than, say, Hard Day's Night or Help since the Beatles only contributed one album side to it.Hello Goodbye and Strawberry Fields Forever were not on the original Magical Mystery Tour release, but were added later because the original double EP format was unable to be released stateside (they previously existed as singles).Let It Be was in the can before Abbey Road was recorded.And so on and so forth.It kills me that the people putting this together were so sloppy yet packaged it as some kind of definitive proof. I laughed for hours after it was over. And the William to Paul transformation video was spectacularly hilarious, even as over-saturated as it was.
