Sensitive portrait of honorary ‘fifth Beatle’
A phenomenal performance by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd in the lead role…
Strong turns from Fortune-Lloyd and the mop-tops endear...

A solid biopic with plenty of humour.
Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, is quite remarkable as Epstein
The Beatles have made many the people they are today, and to find out more about who the man behind them was is quite the treat.

These are legendary people that we are bringing to life again because of Brian. It's the most exciting project I've ever worked on in my career. It's just bloody exciting.
You have to expect that this film will tell a hugely important story through the freshest, newest eyes with angles that people wouldn't imagine. It will be a truly sensational, very poetic and entertaining adaption of someones life.
