Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2019)

First off, I am Not a Queen fan, iI neither like nor dislike the group, Ive heard of them before,of course but never really listened to their music nor followed what went on with Freddie Mercury...That said , I was blow the F..k away by the acting of rami malik, this is one Powerful story that is Infinitely sold by the heartfelt transmission of emotion and heart breaking sincerity that literally comes through the screen and from maliks gaze..Just Wow!I knew he was in the I robot series but have never seen anything that he acted in before...after this I am a fan and cant Fathom how he wouldnt be closely considered for the oscar ,Heck, I think he should receive it...That Good!...Even watching it again, with my GF this time, it lost none of its impact and impacted me just as hard and had tears in my eyes many times...The sad loneliness of Freddies story, a man surrounded by people and parties,yet a man alone in his mind, isolated and sad at the end of the day..Malik portrays him in a way that stirrs ur compassion for this man and his path to find himself and live his passion...I always thought of queen as the "gay" band and just never gave it any attention..This movie made me take a second look and opened my eyes to the talent and person of Freddie Mercury, a unique and ultra talented man...fantastic movie..oscar material if ever there was.
