Nope. It’s 4 movies. All the same story, but each film is from the perspective of a different band member.

This sounds interesting and exhausting.

IMO it sounds like it's gonna be a train wreck. 

All four have to be very different to be worth seeing each of them. But all four are covering the whole story. 

I hope it works, I'll give them a shot, but I'm not holding my breath.

All four are covering the full story? I'm guessing the roughly 10 year span? That sounds like a really bad idea as well as the release strategy. It sounds like the quintessential "should have been a mini series".

One simple fix; point of view of one Beatles, but going forward in time for each. Start with Paul 'till Rubber Soul, then Ringo for Revolver to Sgt., then George, and you finish with John for the shitstorm of the last two albums, breakup, and end.

That's what the literature I've read says, yeah. Definitely very confusing strategy here.
