Flawless Victory

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2018)

I went to this movie knowing the music would be excellent, but unsure about the rest. I was pleasantly surprised very quickly and absolutely blown away by the end! I was a musician in my mid-teens when Live Aid happened, and I remember it well. I always loved Queen's epic anthems, and had a general idea about Freddy Mercury, but this movie made me wish I could go back and appreciate them both more while they were here. Such a great movie. If you're trying to decide whether to go or not, just do it. It's absolutely spectacular, and if Rami Malek doesn't pull down some serious awards for this, there's no justice in the world. He absolutely NAILS Freddy. The casting for the rest of Queen is fantastic also. I sometimes forgot I wasn't actually watching Brian May.
