The Observer (UK) by

The film is a bore. It's supposed to show how the Beatles work, but it doesn't. Shot without any design, clumsily edited, uninformative and naive, it would have destroyed a lesser group.

Sanitized it may well be, but agonizing nonetheless—it's a domestic squabble that somehow touches history.

In many ways, Let it Be is the best Beatles film of all since they are not playing the Beatles but rather are being themselves.
