The new film directed by Morgan Neville documents McCartney's career as he exits The Beatles and forms his band 'Wings' with his late wife Linda.
'Paul McCartney: Man On The Run' will be available in selected cinemas today (February 19th) and on Amazon Prime on February 27th.
Amazon MGM said in a statement that "the film chronicles the arc of McCartney's solo career as he faces down a myriad of challenges while creating new music to define a new decade." They promised to provide "unprecedented access to previously unseen footage and rare archival materials" as it aims to capture McCartney's "transformative post-Beatles era through a uniquely vulnerable lens".
The documentary has so far received a flood of positive reviews with The Guardian awarding it 4/5 stars and stating that "it’s an engaging film, and there is always something mesmeric in McCartney’s face: cherubic, and yet sharp and watchful."
NME also awarded the film 4/5 stars and praised director Neville for the "excellent job" he did at "capturing the weight of expectations laid at McCartney’s door in April 1970, when he casually revealed that the Beatles were no more – despite the fact that John Lennon had quietly requested a “divorce” from the group seven months earlier."
According to NME, the full soundtrack will be released on February 27th, and is available here.
