Soderbergh’s Lennon Interview Doc Struggles with AI, Delivering Mixed Moments
Steven Soderbergh’s Cannes doc John Lennon: The Last Interview converts the Lennon–Yoko Double Fantasy interview into a visual annotation, blending archival footage with AI-generated imagery. It offers some intimate moments but the presentation feels dull and overdependent on literal image-izing of abstract thoughts, with the AI sequences largely criticized as unnecessary and distracting. The film, which premiered at Cannes 2026 and is seeking U.S. distribution, earns a cautious Grade: C.
