Rami Malek and the depiction of Queen's Live Aid gig are 10/10

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2018)

Possibly apocryphal, but the scenes when Freddie brought his boyfriend Jim Hutton to visit and make peace with his staunchly conservative Zoroastrian parents and sister on the day of the Live Aid concert, and his ex fiancee Mary Austin and her new partner, together with Jim proudly watching the gig in progress backstage is heartwarming.
The scenes where Queen were preparing for their Live Aid gig, Freddie making his way onstage, the stage curtains being pulled aside to reveal a 72,000 crowd, as well as numerous video cameras broadcasting live to more than a billion people worldwide are top class.
Usually I discard movie tickets, but this one I'll keep, as a reminder of a Freddie Mercury fronted Queen I've never managed to see live.
