...Lively, galvanizing and unexpectedly well made....[Softley] has done a fond, imaginative job...
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Backbeat, which for all its pretensions can often be impressively canny and affectionate about its subject, is helped enormously by newly recorded versions of Beatle records.
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
It is the band, the group - with or without Sutcliffe - that makes Backbeat such a powerfully emotional elegy.

Despite some meandering moments, this remains a unique experience.

Film Frenzy
The early, pre-fame days of the Beatles are a great subject for a film, but the potential has been only partly realized in Backbeat.
Variety
The music is loud and raw, but nevertheless evokes the excitement it generated.

Time Out
[I]t's Ian Hart as the young Lennon who steals the show.
Uncut
Product Description:
This hard-driving, energetic drama chronicling the Beatles' ascendance to fame in Hamburg's club circuit centers on "fifth Beatle" Stu Sutcliffe and his close relationship to John Lennon. Driven by art rather than music, Sutcliffe ultimately must choose between his true passion and certain superstardom.
