Don't believe the professional film critics

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2018)

I went to see this film with some trepidation following several qualified reviews in the press and the BBC's Film Review. I came away wondering whether the reviewers saw the same film as me. The acting was excellent. The music, of course, was brilliant and the ending superbly handled. Some critics slated the film for not going deep enough into Mercury's hedonistic lifestyle. It was covered, but not to voyeuristic excess which, if it had been, I think would have spoiled the film.
Excellent performances all round, especially the main characters. If you like the music of Queen it's a must see. And even if you don't know much about them it's well worth a watch.
