Meet Brian Epstein, a man who lived a thousand lives in a few short years, a visionary who transformed music history. From running a Liverpool record store to shaping the sound of a generation, Epstein's journey is a rollercoaster of ambition, passion, and relentless pursuit of greatness. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd stars as the mastermind behind The Beatles' meteoric rise, navigating a whirlwind of unprecedented fame, cultural revolution, and personal demons. But behind the glitz and glamour lies a man seeking acceptance and love in a world not ready. Midas Man peels back the curtain on the swinging '60s, revealing the triumphs, heartbreaks, and secrets of the man who changed the face of music forever. Step into Brian's world, where every touch turns to gold, but the most precious treasure remains just out of reach.

Critics Consensus

Unfortunately, "Midas Man" feels like a missed opportunity to get at the heart of this tragic figure, the visionary architect of Beatlemania.

This slight but affectionate biopic of The Beatles' famed manager Epstein is carried by a charismatic turn from Fortune-Lloyd as the successful but troubled entrepreneur.

The fast pacing does come at the cost of truly diving into a character study of Epstein.

A wry biopic of the man who discovered the Beatles, transforming them from a scraggly quartet into the most consequential band. Here's a never-less-than-engaging look at not totally surviving the sixties, a perfect Brit counterpart to A Complete Unknown.
