YESTERDAY

Recommended. Imagine... a world where some of pop culture phenomena haven't taken place. It's presented as if everyone suffered a memory loss but towards the end a very emotional meeting proves it's not collective amnesia but an alternative reality. 3 people in the world have been moved to the new one. This brilliant idea results in numerous hilarious info gap clashes e.g. "I feel like Harry Potter after beating Voldemort" "Who? Harry what?" but brings some tear-jerking moments as well. Ed Sheeran acts as himself. Kate McKinnon proves her flair for comedy yet again. It has a second bottom too since it deals with the issue of one's creativity encumbered by the marketing team who applaud the author but "know better", with sudden fame felt preposterous and with the lack of understanding of the genius from the ordinary folks. Recorded in Dolby Atmos but unavailable in this format in Poland.
