Rhapsody,plain and simple

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2019)

LI was so looking forward to seeing this movie. Baby Boomer that I am, Queen came at the tail end of my rock era, though who could have heard their music and not have it embedded in their soul? Then I began hearing through the grapevine the critics lack of enthusiasm. Pay no attention to those cretins behind the curtain! What a wonderful journey this film will take you on! There is the mind-blowing turn of Malek's performance, followed by the rest of the band who resemble so closely the original Queen it is downright spooky. Then the music. The music. The music. And the story. My goodness, critics, go back to school, or follow that yellow brick road and discover your hearts again. For shame! Run, run to see this film. Poignant, inspiring, it will leave you awed.
