	'Backbeat'
		Sutcliffe was the Beatles' original bass player, brought into the band by his art school pal Lennon.
		Meanwhile, the introverted Sutcliffe is as consumed by art as the extroverted Lennon is by music, and with Kirchherr's support, he opts for the painter's private, solitary life over the musician's public, collaborative one.
		Dorff, an American, is credible as Sutcliffe, a tortured soul clearly uncomfortable in the limelight, yet strong enough to walk away from it all.

		The sister of Stuart Sutcliffe, the "fifth Beatle", is to make public startling new evidence that strengthens her claim that his death was caused by a kick to the head from John Lennon.
		Pauline Sutcliffe, who believes her brother was beaten up by Lennon in the months before he died, is to sell off a huge archive containing a sketchbook that indicates a rapid decline in his mental health after the alleged incident.
		Ms Sutcliffe, who has just sold a smaller archive of ephemera to the Museum of Liverpool Life, says her main motive for releasing the material is to "give it its wings" and allow the public to judge its merits for itself.

	Review/Film; A Fifth Beatle Who Abandoned Rock for High Art - New York Times
		In the realm of Beatles lore, Stu Sutcliffe is the man who got away.
		Sutcliffe preferred to pursue a career as an Abstract Expressionist painter and to live in Hamburg with his German girlfriend, Astrid Kirchherr.
		Although it underscores the Sutcliffe factor, all its energy comes from John Lennon, who is presented as bristling and self-destructive in ways that would light a fire under any rock band.

	Backbeat focuses on Lennon, Sutcliffe interaction
		Lennon and Sutcliffe (whose presence lent the band a cool, James Dean-like persona) are friends who met in art school, and their friendship is made evident by John's reluctance to cut Stu from the band.
		However, Stu doesn't seem to fit onstage like the others: amidst a storm of thundering guitar, caterwauling vocals, and thrashing performers, Stu stands nearly immobile on bass, wearing shades and occasionally missing a beat.
		But, whereas Lennon got to face his demons later on, Stu Sutcliffe's artwork reflects a tumultuous vision-ideas borne of a mind that would succumb to a brain hemorrhage at the age of 21.

	IGN: Backbeat (Special Edition) Review
		Stu would be Stuart Sutcliffe, the bassist in the original lineup of The Beatles, before their chart-topping days, before the Ed Sullivan Show, before Yoko, Wings and duets with Michael Jackson laid ruin to the legend of the Fab Four.
		Stu is an artist at heart, but after selling a painting, he uses the proceeds to buy a bass to join John's band.
		Naturally, Stu is attracted by this scene and falls into a love affair with Astrid, much to the displeasure of her current boyfriend, Klaus Voorman (Kai Wiesinger).

	A Night With Pete Best
		In response to a question from the audience, Pete Best made a point of mentioning that there was some folklore that had characterized Stu Sutcliffe as a shy individual who was a poor bass player.
		It was his view, however, that Sutcliffe was an adequate bass player who was animated during performances and not withdrawn as story has it.
		In response to questions surrounding the death of Stu, Best mentioned that while he and Lennon had rescued Sutcliffe from a fight, it was his view that this altercation was not responsible for Sutcliffe's death.

	Rolling Stone : Backbeat : Review
		Maybe Sutcliffe couldn't play for shit, but this James Dean look-alike in fl shades and leather had something Lennon valued: the cool swagger of rock & roll that would affect the Beatles long after Sutcliffe died of a brain hemorrhage in 1962.
		Sutcliffe's yen for Kirchherr extends to her intellectual sphere.
		Kirchherr's interest in Sutcliffe went from camera subject (her photos of the Beatles are justly famous) to grand passion.

	[No title]
		Stu's decision to leave the Beatles behind to become a full-time artist, a poignant death scene for the artistic soul, and Astrid's tearful reporting of the news to John Lennon.
		For a film that's supposed to be Stu's story, he is a somewhat less interesting character than either Lennon or Astrid.
		When the Beatles return to Liverpool (the second time around), McCartney and Sutcliffe are given a strong scene, but the effect of that on John is practically ignored.
