The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
It all feels a little glossy, but who can complain when the vibes are so good and the tunes so catchy?
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Ron Howard's documentary rightly keeps coming back to the music and the band's delight in making it. Good move. It truly is a joy forever.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
I've heard "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" probably thousands of times, too, and I still like hearing them. So it is with Howard's movie - the story is so incredibly good, it's worth repeating.
Chicago Sun-Times
Mark Caro
Howard is more interested in wowing audiences with exuberant, hysteria-ridden performances than he is in digging for explanations.
Spectrum Culture
Kristen Lopez
Howard assembles Eight Days a Week with an eye to appeasing those knowledgeable about Beatles history.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Unearthed fan footage and gorgeously restored concert clips make this a must-see for Beatles fans.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
If you're a Beatles fan - and that's who a movie like this is for - you've already seen most of this stuff, and diehards (and I speak as one myself) will probably find themselves focusing more on Howard's stranger choices.
Newsweek
Tom Shone
[Howard seems] as if he were intent on making a film for anyone who tuned in to The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, fell in love with the four adorable mop tops and regrets all the long-haired plonking about with sitars that came later.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
The Beatles now belong to an honored past, stuck there like an obelisk, and yet here they are, alive-busting out all over, time and time again. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
90 percent familiar and a bit hagiographic as well, but just try watching it without smiling.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Don't expect trenchant analysis or deep insights into the group's creative process. Do revel, however, in the gleeful tumult and the gorgeous music.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The music is so strong, and such a demonstration of how potent the group was in action, that it alone makes the film worth seeing.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The familiar events presented here were covered more thoroughly in the band's own 11-hour Beatles Anthology, though Howard has dug up some good ancillary concert footage that illustrates the chaos swirling around every show.
Seattle Times
Paul de Barros
By using home-movie footage in hotel rooms, fly-on-the-wall tape from the studio control room, Howard's film often succeeds in making you feel it all from the four lads' astonished point of view.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Frantically rushing through the quartet's prodigious output during these years, Eight Days a Week is best when it slows down ...
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
The group's fans today, of any age, are bound to welcome Eight Days a Week, in which Beatlemania's mid-'60s comet of joy and astonishment is thrillingly captured.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
A must for any fan.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Take the kids and watch their little minds get blown.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
It's a testament to the buoyancy of the film that such exhausted, well-trod material can still feel fresh.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
With the Beatles' company Apple Corps as one of the producing partners, Howard's access to original material was presumably nonpareil. And with a subject as rich as the Beatles, "you know that can't be bad."
