Her?? She already gave John Lennon an unnecessary Oedipus complex in Nowhere Boy, we don't need an Amy biopic that's probably going to be centered around daddy issues

idk about "gave". John Lennon's mommy issues were by his own admittance a defying personality trait.

He definitely had a complicated relationship with his mom, but I don't think it was to the specific extent the movie suggested, at least from what I can remember atm. Maybe I'm projecting, but I got the impression those scenes with John & Julia also subtly reflected how Aaron & Sam felt about each other during filming, but it's been a while since I've watched the movie

From what I remember watching the movie I think they were trying to convey how much of a right there but unobtainable figure Julia was in his life. In context of Sam's relationship with Aaron (which I don't remember if I knew at the time) it is very uncomfortable, totally agree. But in real life Lennon called his second wife "mother" and some of his songs (Julia, My Mummy's Dead, Mother, etc). Mommy issues and parental was his brand. That's why I think you're right that Amy's issues with her father are probably going to factor in this script, and I wonder if that's part of the appeal for Sam Taylor-Johnson and/or the screenwriter.

he also had daddy issues but his mommy issues were definitely more defining for him and his lack of peace of mind
