Great and superficial

Rating: 7/10 (18 April 2019)

Great acting, great music, great nostalgia. And yet: quite shallow if you think about it. It tells the story about how the band became successful and the same goes for the key struggles of Mercury's life. Being gay in a (assumably) traditional family background, being lonely with so many people around, HIV... it hardly shows any emotional depth and hardly has any complexity. A lot of interesting topics were just -almost casually- told, almost like a feel-good movie. Missed opportunity.
