FANTASTIC BUT THE SHOW SHOULD HAVE GONE ON!

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2018)

I was born in 1982 and my Dad is a huge Queen fan so obviously their music was never likely to ever evade my ears and I'm glad. I fell in love with Queen's music very quickly growing up, from their big hits to even various other songs which they never released as singles.
I always knew the basic back story of the band from what my Dad told me, plus various documentaries but I bever truly realised the struggles the band faced as well as how lonely Freddie was at various stages of his life. The acting is brilliant, with the band members perfectly cast, sometimes you forget these are just the actors and not the real people. Rami Malek as Freddie is mesmerising with Freddie's accent and movement so perfectly recreated. Gwilym Lee bears a frightening resemblence to Brian May in both look and his voice.
There are emotional moments which brought tears to my eyes but it is a great journey with comedy and Freddie being Freddie which made me laugh. My only disappointment is that it ends with Live Aid in 1985, there were still so many moments that occured after then that led to Freddie's death which I feel could have been covered but it's a fantastic film and I applaud all involved.
