First Movie I've Watched at the Cinema Twice!

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2019)

I'll try to keep it concise although there is so much I could say: Casting decisions were spot on, as much as I enjoy Sacha Baron Cohen's witty comedies, I am relieved they cast Rami Malek in the end. Rami really got down Freddie's flamboyant personality to a t as he pays so much attention to how Freddie talked and moved but Rami is not the only actor ot rave about. Ben Hardy, Joe Mazello and Gywilym Lee are also excellent in their roles as Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Brian May respectively. The characters felt very accurate and I'm glad that everyone working on the film strived to be so faithful to real life. The comedy in this film is hilarious, the jokes about 'i'm in love with my car' (which is actually a good song if you ask me) are particularly funny. Most importantly of all, it's so moving. Every emotion that the protagonists experienced, I can honestly say I felt it too. And I feel that they handled Freddie's unfortunate passing as delicately as possible and it felt appropriate for them to do it the way they did. Please watch this film, whether you are a die-hard queen fan or not.
