More than four decades after his tragic death,\u00a0John Lennon<\/strong>\u00a0remains one of the most studied, celebrated, and deeply human figures in modern music history. This week, the much-anticipated documentary\u00a0\u201cBorrowed Time: Lennon\u2019s Last Decade\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0premiered in select theaters and streaming platforms \u2014 but while fans were eager to revisit Lennon\u2019s final years,\u00a0not everyone is applauding the result<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documentary, directed by Emmy-winner\u00a0Hannah Reilly<\/strong>, uses rare archival footage, interviews with close friends and family, and, most controversially,\u00a0AI-assisted editing techniques<\/strong>\u00a0that attempt to recreate moments for which little or no footage exists. The intention, according to the filmmakers, was to\u00a0\u201cfill in emotional and narrative gaps\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 but the reaction from critics and audiences has been\u00a0decidedly mixed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
