What critics compared Let It Be to
This movie's funniest moments find Jack “debuting” tunes such as “Let It Be” — or, as a well-meaning listener mistakenly calls it, “Leave It Be” — and “Hey Jude,” which Ed Sheeran, playing himself, persuades him to change to “Hey Dude."
Suddenly, he's trying to remember the words to "Eleanor Rigby" and "Let it Be".

Michael Lindsay-Hogg began his directing career in 1970 by capturing the deterioration of the Beatles' communal genius in "Let it Be."
