THE DONALD M. EPHRAIM SUN & STARS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Jan 24, 2025 |Marshall E. Rinker, Sr. Playhouse
2024, Joe Stephenson, UK
With Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Jonah Klees, Emily Watson
Often called “the Fifth Beatle,” manager/impresario Brian Epstein burned brightly as the man who catapulted the Fab Four to international fame then tragically died at 32. This brisk and wonderfully evocative biopic is a fictionalized capsule of early Beatles history from Liverpool’s grungy Cavern Club to the flower-power years, set against the background of Epstein’s short life. Jewish, closeted gay, and energized by the rocking tunes of the underground culture, Epstein talks his way into managing the band of four scruffy lads. MIDAS MAN brings one beloved chapter in the rock ‘n’ roll story to life with color and spirit, and underlines the toll success takes on the man who made it happen.
“Fortune-Lloyd’s core performance is deeply empathic and buoys the film up as it races through the stations of Epstein’s short, sharp shock of a life.”
