Trivia
In a similar vein to 2023s Priscilla, Midas man does not use the Beatles music as they were unable to obtain the rights but other songs were used which they were able to get the rights for or were already in the public domain.

The upcoming Beatles biopic film from Sam Mendes will most likely include Beatles songs however.

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd anchors the film with an excellent performance

Having not known much about Brian Epstein before watching the film, I found the story of Midas Man fascinating. Seeing the portrayal of the early days of The Beatles and the influence Brian had on their success and the wider Merseybeat scene was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours (I also only knew Cilla Black from Blind Date until now).

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd's performance is excellent, he anchors a charming film. I would have enjoyed hearing some of the big Beatles songs in the Cavern Club and Abbey Road scenes but from a quick Spotify after the screening I found the songs used were in early Beatles records which fit the time portrayed.
