Who wouldn't want to watch Eight Days a Week, but is it really a great movie?

Of course Ron Howard's Hulu movie, Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years, is fun to watch; how can you not like the extensive archival footage of Beatles' live performance, from the early days in Liverpool and Hamburg through the first live concerts in Europe the the U.S. to the stadium concerts of 1965 and 66, and finally to their impromptu rooftop performance - their last performance as a quartet apparently. Great footage, great music, some moments never seen before, and Howard keeps the talking heads to a minimum - just a few contemporary comments from Paul and Ringo and from a few others, including Elvis Costello. That's all good - great as an archival exploration, great for the music, but as a movie? It feels flat and unawakened; I completely agree w/ comment AW made to me that the movie lacks a point of view. Yes, we see the arc of their lives - how fame came at them so suddenly, how it became impossible to do what they loved to do which was simply to perform their music, how the were forced to become studio musicians and were all the better as such, for a time (the movie does not dwell on this, which is fair, as it's about the "touring years"). But we don't really come out of this with any advanced knowledge; there's little or no insight into the struggles of their personal lives, in particular broken marriages and increasingly heavy use of Rx. Obviously, this was the price Howard had to pay to get the cooperation of the reps and families of all 4. But overall it comes off as an old-fashioned PBS masters' show, flourishing amid the abundance of archival material, but not as a thoughtful, original piece of documentary cinema.
