- TriviaOfficial submission of Spain to the Best Foreign Language Film category of the 87th Academy Awards in 2015.
- GoofsAt the end of the movie, it is stated that, after the events depicted in the film, all Beatles LPs included printed lyrics. This is not true: The LPs that featured lyrics were Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour (Capitol LP and Parlophone EP), and The Beatles (AKA The White Album). Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be didn't include them.
Although Yellow Submarine was not a "true" Beatles LP (featuring just one side of Beatles' music, 2 songs already released and the other unreleased 4 recorded two years ago, we can say then the only two LPs that didn't feature the lyrics are Abbey Road and Let It Be.
Some post-breakup releases included printed lyrics: 1973: 1962-1966 (Red Album), 1967-1970 (Blue Album), 1977: Love Songs.
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene after the end credits which is a combination of a film scene and film title. Schoolteacher Antonio enters his classroom and sits behind his desk in his chair. On the chalkboard, he has written the Spanish title of the film.

Featured review
Brilliant evocation of an era and what the Beatles did for all of us
This is a quiet gentle movie full of humor and understanding about the sometimes painful but rewarding journey to adult hood.
Of huge assistance to those young folk making this journey is a really talented teacher; don't just take my word for it - learn from the movie what Lennon did to assist the teacher in his quest.
Also interesting to show what life is like living in a fascist state - fascism starts in the family and at school.
The director David Trueba is clearly a talent to watch - he was a screenwriter on the much darker confronting but interesting Perdita Durango (Dance with the devil - 1997) - he clearly has real insight into human nature. This is a much kinder more thoughtful film and one for all of us.
9/10 for me (there are no tens).
