Set against the kaleidoscopic backdrop of Swinging Sixties London, this stylish musical biopic explores the genius and demons of the trailblazing Jewish manager hailed as the "fifth Beatle." Brian Epstein’s visionary efforts propelled The Beatles' meteoric rise to global stardom. Amid the heady swirl of fame and ongoing cultural revolution, he navigated societal pressures, solitude and the hidden struggles of life as a closeted gay man. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as Epstein delivers a raw, authentic depiction in this bittersweet portrait, blending mod-inspired visuals, an evocative soundtrack, and a sensitive exploration of the seismic shifts Epstein ignited – and the toll they exacted on him.
