Can't get the negative reviews

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2018)

This movie overall is just an emotional rollercoaster. It has you captivated from start to finish. I personally experienced all kinds of emotion and felt the power of Queen's music right to my bones.
The fact I wanted to adress is around some negative reviews from critics saying the movie didn't really adress Freddie Mercury's sexuallity the way it should have and was afraid of being to explicit. Coming out of the theatre the thing that stunned me the most though was this exact fact. I was captivated by the way I understood exactly what the film was trying to say to me without it being overly detailed just for the shock of it. It felt smooth and portrayed the feelings it wanted with a kind of grace and respect it ought to in my opinion. It didn't make a great fuss about it because that was not the point of the movie. It was about the struggles of one of the greater musicians and artists if you will in history. We all know society was not ready yet for people like him but today's society is and it would be really disapointing if it was just a movie about that. This movie wanted to paint the portrait of a man (and band) who changed music as of today and he didn't do it because he was gay but because he was brilliant and that's what the focus was. That and the fact he lost his way only to realise in the end what really mattered in his life making peace with himself his family the band and his real family. That is what the film was all about and coming home and reading the reviews had me mad to be honest because the very thing I absolutly loved and respected about the film was the cause of them.
Anyway this film was quite an experience and although it's mentioned a lot it wouldn't feel right if i didn't give my praise to Rami Malek for a superb performance. This film has captured the essence of Queen right to the core and does an amazing job conveying all the right feels at the right moments. At the end it was all about the catharsis of a unique soul that lost its way somewhere in between and that's what it should have focused on no matter the critics.
Defiantly worth watching on the big screen a once in a lifetime experience.
