Nowhere Boy (2009)

Plot: Growing up in 1950s Liverpool, a rebellious fifteen-year-old John Lennon lives a structured life under the watchful eye of his stern Aunt Mimi. His world is suddenly upended when he reconnects with his estranged, free-spirited mother, Julia, who introduces him to the wild world of rock 'n' roll and teaches him to play music. Caught in an emotional tug-of-war between two vastly different women, John finds solace in his guitar and forms a band, laying down the historic foundation for what would eventually become The Beatles.
