I didn't watch this until today. As there was so much talk about it chronicling the break up of the Beatles, I didn't want to see it back in 1969 or since.
However, having seen Peter Jackson's far superior Get Back (2021) and seeing nothing of note to indicate a falling apart, I thought I would watch the original to see if there was any difference in content.
Well, there wasn't. The stuff about Yoko causing disharmony during these sessions, as far as the recorded evidence is concerned, is nonsense. She was there, but she didn't interfere or say anything. Things may have happened off camera, because they were all very conscious of being filmed. It shows more in Get Back than Let it Be.
As a standalone film this was very badly done. The editing is atrocious, the film quality is poor and the sound is not good.
There is no story here, it is just a hotchpotch of film edited together, and not always in sequence. The snips of the police and the roof-top concert being a case in point.
Thankfully a far better documentary of the same sessions has now been released.
