Context is key in one's enjoyment of the 1970 Beatles documentary 'Let It Be,' now re-released in a restored version on the Disney+ streaming service.

Today, in the wake of Peter Jackson’s “The Beatles: Get Back” docuseries in 2021 which utilized unused “Let It Be” footage and reputedly depicted a more joyous aura of the band, the latter comes off as a shorter version of “Get Back” with a seemingly happy and relaxed vibe. They play and sing a variety of soon-to-be-recorded-and-released songs in their raw form, including the solemn title cut with slightly varied lyrics and portions where McCartney as the soloist skips the higher notes. In the early goings, we hear “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” which would become one of the sillier cuts in the Beatles’ farewell album “Abbey Road.”

All the Beatles are shown to be individually talented, making their eventual split feel perhaps less painful. All of them can play and sing with gusto, Starr perhaps to a lesser extent for some in the vocal department, but he does show off his flair in novelty tunes like “Garden” and some of his skill at the piano. And in case you might ask: no, Ono does not sing here.
