The Arts Desk
This is the most frustrating film. It's probably no fault of the makers, but it's rare to have to assess a documentary for what it doesn't have.

There isn't a single note of the actual album to be heard, nor any images of the record itself and its famed cover art.

Hollywood Reporter
Even blessed with such a rich subject and vast reserves of archive footage, It Was Fifty Years Ago Today! still has the threadbare feel of an unauthorized cash-in.

Times (UK)
Alan G Parker's film is an overlong, tedious parade of familiar talking heads (Hunter Davies, Pete Best) trotting out familiar anecdotes and, significantly for a film about an album, there's not a note of Beatles music.

Daily Mail (UK)
With a two-hour bombardment of talking heads of varying relevance, Parker tries gamely, but fails resoundingly, to overcome his documentary's glaring paradox - that it's a film about music containing no music.

It's not easy to make a documentary about the greatest album in history when you don't have access to a single note of the music, but this documentary forges on and cashes in regardless ...

What's the point in making a documentary about a classic album if you don't have the rights to any of the music?
